ESSEX COUNTY, NJ — If you see trucks spraying around your town early in the morning over the weekend, it doesn't have to do with the wildfire smoke.

Essex County will go ahead with its plan to spray for mosquitoes via their trucks, on Saturday, June 10 from 2 to 7 a.m., weather permitting.

According to an announcement from the town of Livingston, "They will be using DUET Dual-Action Adulticide EPA Reg. # 1021-1795-8329 or AQUA-ZENIVEX E20 Adulticide EPA Reg. # 89459-81."
