Norfolk County Mosquito Control Announces Aerial Larvicide Applications in Norfolk County Towns

post

This is to notify you that the Norfolk County Mosquito Control District and its contracted helicopter company, North Fork Helicopter’s Ltd., will be conducting aerial larvicide applications in the towns located in Norfolk County, possibly beginning Wednesday, April 20 through Friday, April 29, 2022, between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:30 pm daily (weather/wind permitting).  Approximately 2,900 acres are to be treated in the county.

The targets for this application are wetlands in Norfolk County that have been determined to breed mosquitoes.

We will be using two helicopters to treat wetlands in the entire district. There will be one or two helicopters working the towns at a time. On each day that we work in a Norfolk County town, we will call the Fire and Police departments first thing that morning. 

The following is a list of the numbers of the helicopters and a brief description of them to help you confirm their presence if residents call.

MD 500 - N50QD - Black

Bell 47 -   N7024A - White & Blue

 

Thank you for your cooperation. Please pass this notice on to all shifts.
