• One or more of our licensed inspectors will survey the area requested, properly survey and treat any breeding habitats found, either by larviciding, clearing blocked waterways, freeing impounded water etc...

• The inspector may choose to take a landing/bite count to determine the mosquito populations and species composition in the area.
   
• If the inspector feels that more extensive testing is necessary, surveillance traps may be appropriately placed on the premises overnight, and collected the following day.
   
• This data will be utilized to determine if adulticiding is necessary.

If we come to the conclusion that adulticiding is necessary, our protocol will be as follows:

CONTACTS

• The local police and health departments for that particular township will be notified as to when and where we will be adulticiding.
   
• Any residents that choose to be on our adulticide notification list will also be contacted.
   
• The adulticiding locations will be listed under the Spraying Schedule section.   In addition, more detailed information will be provided on our hotline telephone number (908-541-5021).

ADULTICIDE

We will be applying Scourge ® as our primary adulticide. Scourge ® contains the pesticide resmethrin and piperonyl butoxide. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) current evaluation considers products containing resmethrin and piperonyl butoxide to have a minimal potential risk to the general public. Since Scourge ® has a relatively low toxicity and is used in very small amounts; it has minimal impacts on non-target organisms. Our applications will be conducted with Ultra Low Volume (ULV) equipment mounted on the back of our vehicles. For further information refer to our Scourge ® Fact Sheet .
