County Will Spray For Mosquitoes In Ocean Twp. Wednesday Morning

OCEAN TOWNSHIP, NJ — The Monmouth County Mosquito Control Division will spray early Wednesday morning in the Oakhurst section of Ocean Township, weather permitting.

This is due to evidence of West Nile virus in the area.

Spraying will be done between 4 and 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, on residential roads south of West Lincoln Avenue, west of Monmouth Road, north of Deal Road and east of and including Joe Palaia Park.

The Mosquito Control Division will apply Duet using Ultra Low Volume (ULV) sprayers mounted in the bed of a pickup truck. A map of the areas to be treated is above.

“West Nile virus usually hits its highest levels in August and September,” said Commissioner Deputy Director Sue Kiley.

"Our inspectors are available to check properties for standing water — a prime mosquito breeding ground. If larvae are found, they’ll treat the area or remove the source. To schedule an inspection, call 732-542-3630," said Commissioner Tom Arnone.
