DEP to spray for mosquitoes


MEADVILLE – The Department of Environmental Protection will apply treatments the evening of Monday, June 30, in Port Allegany, McKean County, to control adult mosquito populations.

The treatments will be administered by truck-mounted equipment to spray open spaces in residential and recreational areas. The equipment dispenses Biomist 3+15 at a rate of .75 ounces per acre.


These products are designed to provide quick, effective control of adult mosquito populations. The application materials have a very low toxicity profile to mammals and are safe for the environment.
