Weather permitting, the Burlington County Mosquito Division will treat to control adult mosquitoes in areas of Mt. Laurel today Wednesday, July 10, where mosquito populations have been detected.
Areas to be treated include the Birchfield and Stonegate sections in Mt. Laurel.
Treatment is expected to take place between 7 and 11 p.m. Residents are advised to stay indoors during this period.
Residents are once again reminded to take precautions against mosquito bites by using repellent, wearing long sleeves and long pants and by trying to limit outdoor activity when mosquitoes are most active, during dawn and dusk.
Residents should also clean or remove any items on their personal property that can collect rain or sprinkler water and serve as a breeding ground for mosquitoes, such as clogged gutters, flowerpots, bottle caps or old car tires. They should also completely change water in birdbaths at least once a week and should repair window and door screens.
