Aug. 28, 2026

York County Schedules Mosquito Spraying in Manchester Township, Springettsbury Township, Spring Garden Township and York City

YORK, Pa. – The York County Mosquito and Tick-Borne Disease Control Program announced today it will conduct a mosquito-control spray operation in residential and recreational areas of Springettsbury Township, Manchester Township, York City, and Spring Garden Township on Monday Aug. 31, 2026.

The county will spray for adult mosquitoes from a truck beginning around sunset in the following areas:
Manchester Township: Eagles View
Springettsbury Township: North Hills Park
Spring Garden Township: Wallace Street
York City: Clugston Road

These areas have been targeted for treatment due to high counts of mosquitoes capable of transmitting West Nile Virus. Residents on the targeted roads, as well as nearby roads, should be aware that spraying is planned for those areas.

Should the weather or other unexpected events occur to prevent or delay the start of the treatment, the operation will be rescheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 1, if necessary.

The event will be conducted by York County’s Mosquito and Tick-Borne Disease Control Program (Business License BU8376).

The product that will be used is Clarke® AquaDUET®, which is a water-based product designed to effectively control and eliminate large populations of adult mosquitoes. The county performs these sprays at night to avoid contact with non-target insects such as bees and butterflies.

The product will be applied at a rate of 0.75 ounces per acre. The product is designed to come into contact with flying mosquitoes and therefore has no residual effect as it breaks down within 20 minutes after application.

Additional Mosquito Protection Information
Residents should protect themselves from mosquito bites by wearing or implementing some form of repellent and wearing long sleeves and pants when outside. Additionally, be alert for areas where certain biting mosquito species prefer to lay eggs, such as:
• Buckets
• Tarps
• Tires
• Clogged gutters
• Ice coolers left outside
• Appliances left outside
• Bottle caps
• Food takeout containers
For more information, contact the York County Mosquito and Tick-Borne Disease Control Administrator Jeraldy Rodriguez at 717-840-2375 or [email protected].

West Nile and Mosquito-borne Disease Safety

York County has recently trapped mosquitos that tested positive for West Nile virus in several municipalities, including Spring Garden.

What you can do to stay safe:
*Stay indoors during peak mosquito hours - Dusk to Dawn (note that it is getting darker later)
*Wear long sleeves, pants, and closed-toed shoes if possible.
*Exposed skin may be at risk for biting mosquitoes - Wear bug repellent
*Specifically bug repellent containing at least 30% DEET or another EPA approved active ingredient
*Remove all the standing water from your property - Birdbaths, wheelbarrows, buckets, tires, unused flower pots and children’s toys can hold water and breed mosquitoes.

Please see the attached guide and visit PA's Mosquito-borne Disease Control Program page for additions measures you can take to keep you and your family safe.
