NOTICE TO SOUTH WINDSOR RESIDENTS

Mosquito Control Storm Drain & Catch Basin Treatment
The South Windsor Health Department will be treating storm drains and catch basins throughout town as part of its annual mosquito control program.

This treatment targets mosquito larvae before they develop into adult mosquitoes, helping to reduce mosquito populations and the potential spread of mosquito-borne diseases. The larvicide being used contains Vectolex Bts, an eco-friendly, naturally occurring soil bacterium that specifically targets mosquito larvae. It is widely used in mosquito control programs and is considered very safe for humans, pets, birds, fish, pollinators, and other wildlife when applied as directed. It only affects the larvae of mosquitoes and does not harm people or other beneficial organisms.

Treatments will be applied directly into storm drains, catch basins and other standing water where mosquitoes breed. Applications are expected to occur between July 17-July 23, as weather conditions permit.

If you have any questions regarding the mosquito control program, please contact the South Windsor Health Department at (860) 337-6182.
