A township in Bucks County will be sprayed to control the amount of mosquitos in the area, a preventative measure against diseases.

The Bucks County Department of Health’s West Nile Virus Mosquito Control Program is conducting an ultra-low volume (ULV) mosquito control operation in the area of Warrington Township on July 14, with a rain date of July 17.

“Treatments will occur in Warrington Township areas bounded by Bristol Rd, Valley Rd, Palomino Dr., Carriage Way, Georges Ln, and Easton Rd. will be treated,” the Bucks County Health Department said online.

This is in an effort to control the mosquito population and lower the risk of an outbreak of the West Nile virus, something mosquitos can carry.

Trucks will drive through these areas and spray a low-toxicity substance into the air. The spray will control the local population of mosquitos so they do not become a nuisance and, therefore, less likely to spread any diseases.
