April 3 kicks off the 2023 mosquito surveillance season starting with larval surveillance and control and incorporating surveillance traps by May 1. The season will conclude by mid October.

  • During this span of time residents may observe within their community:
  • Larvicide operations being conducted with the use of a backpack sprayer
  • Gravid and BG Traps being set and collected. All of our traps are labeled identifying them as a mosquito traps (see below pictures of what our traps look like)
  • Adulticide operations being conducted with the use of a backpack sprayer
  • Adulticide operations being conducted in the evenings with the use of a truck mounted sprayer

Predominantly, communal and public areas are where traps are positioned and larval operations take place. If conducting work on private property the landowner has granted the program permission and has agreed to operations.

If you have inquiries about mosquitoes or our operations please contact me directly.  jgoetz@franklincountypa.gov   (717)-264-4125
