There have been no human cases of West Nile virus in Pennsylvania so far this year, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection, but three mosquitoes have been collected in Bucks County with the disease.
For mosquito control, the Bucks County Health Department, in conjunction with the DEP, will conduct an adult mosquito spray on Monday, July 9, between 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. - weather permitting - in the Croydon area of Bristol Township.
The borders of the spray will be from Neshaminy State Park to Cedar Avenue to the north, the Delaware River to the east and State Road to the West.
The vehicles to be used will be a blue Ford Ranger pickup in the lead position, followed by a green Chevy truck with the sprayer. Both vehicles will be marked with the Bucks County Health Department logo.
The chemical to be applied will be Masterline Kontrol 4-4 used for mosquitoes, flies and gnats. The manufacturers fact sheet is attached.

I want to find out how to get traps in my backyard. We are bit by mosquitos horribly everyday! Our neighbor has a unattended pool, they have not opened it in like 4 years now. The water was just standing, until this year. They drained it, but left the liner & now all the rain water collects. This pool affects a lot of people on our street. We also live on a creek bank. If someOne knows any information on how I can go about getting my yard trapped so hopefully they township could spray or In force them into takin there pool down. Due to the fact it is a breeding ground for millions of mosquito larve.
