2018 Nuisance Mosquito Program

Beginning on May 15^th and continuing through to August 31^st, 2018, Pestalto Environmental Health Services Inc. will apply a biological larvicide in the Amherstburg area.  This application is for the control of larva mosquitoes only and will be conducted over specific mosquito breeding sites within the boundaries of:

• Kingsbridge Subdivision to McCurdy Drive and from the Detroit River to Meloche Rd / Concession 3 N 

View the detailed map that indicates the specific boundaries of application and affected properties for this program.

The larvicide VectoBac 1200L (PCP#21062, liquid) and VectoBac 200G (PCP# 18158, granular) may be applied to standing water if mosquito larvae are detected.  This product contains the active ingredient B.t.i. which is a naturally occurring bacterium found in soils and is very specific to mosquito larva.
