“The treatments will be administered via truck-mounted equipment. The equipment dispenses Duet Dual-Action Adulticide at a rate of 0.75 ounces per acre. The product is designed to provide quick, effective control of adult mosquito populations. The application material has a very low toxicity profile to mammals and will have negligible impact on non-target insects and the environment,” a county press release said.
Several mosquitoes have tested positive for West Nile Virus in the Levittown area in recent weeks, state data shows.
County officials said more information about adult mosquitoes and West Nile Virus can be found on the state website or by calling the Bucks County Department of Health at 215-345-3318.
