Cape May County Department of Mosquito Control Pesticide Information

March 21, 2023 – Information below was provided by the Cape May County Department of Mosquito Control

To: Municipal Clerks of Cape May County, 2023

Pesticide regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:30-9.10(e)) require us to supply a packet of information, including NJ Department of Environmental Protection approved fact sheets for each pesticide we use, and a Question and Answer sheet explaining the aspects of our program. Municipalities are encouraged to share this information with residents in their community, if they wish.

The Cape May County Department of Mosquito Control performs mosquito control pesticide applications throughout Cape May County in response to larval mosquito production and adult mosquito populations from April 15 through November 15 of each season.

For larval mosquito control by ground in Cape May County, we apply both liquid and granular forms of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (B.t.i.) (Vectobac, VectoPrime, VectoMax, etc.), Bacillus sphaericus (B.s.) products (VectoLex, VectoMax, etc.), Methoprene (Altosid, Metalarv, VectoPrime, etc) and Spinosad (Natular, Censor, etc.).  There are many occasions to make small applications of hand-applied products to small larval habitats.  In these situations, we would use larvicide oil (BVA2, etc), B.s. products (Vectolex, etc.), B.t.i briquettes (FourStar, etc) and Methoprene products (Altosid, etc.).  By helicopter, our primary larvicides are granular forms of B.t.i. (Vectobac, VectoPrime, VectoMax, etc), B.s. (VectoLex, VectoMax, etc.), and Methoprene (Altosid, Metalarv, VectoPrime, etc.).

We also treat all catch basins and storm drains known to produce mosquito larvae with larvicide oil (BVA2, etc.), B.s. products (Vectolex, etc.) and Methoprene products (Altosid, etc.).

In certain situations, control of adult mosquitoes may be necessary. The following pesticides would be applied by truck mounted Ultra Low Volume sprayers: Sumithrin/piperonyl butoxide (Anvil 2+2, Anvil 10+10, Aqua Anvil), Prallethrin/Sumithrin/piperonyl butoxide (Duet, Aqua Duet), Etofenprox (Zenivex E20, AquaZenivex), Permethrin/piperonyl butoxide (Aqua Reslin) and Pyrethrins (Merus 3.0). Aerial applied adulticides would include Malathion (Fyfanon), Prallethrin/Sumithrin/piperonyl butoxide (Duet HD), Etofenprox (Zenivex E20) and Pyrethrins (Merus 3.0).

Piping Plovers have returned, please help keep them safe!

March 20, 2023

The Piping Plovers have returned!  Vehicles Prohibited on the Beaches

Recently, five Piping Plovers were spotted on the Stone Harbor beaches. These small, sand colored birds are Endangered and are a good indicator species of the health of the ecosystem. Their return to Stone Harbor is a testament to the outstanding environmental stewardship displayed by this community.

In order to protect the birds at their nesting time of the year, Stone Harbor is closing all vehicular beach access roads. No one, except Stone Harbor officials, should be driving on the beach effective immediately to protect these endangered birds.

If you see a Piping Plover, DO NOT approach it. DO NOT Touch it. Keep your dogs leashed and away from the birds. Any Disturbance by Humans to these birds, especially early in the season when males are claiming their territories and pairing up with female birds, will severely reduce the chances of the Plover’s survival. Human Disturbance has been shown to cause the birds to abandon their eggs or chicks and can interrupt their feeding habits at critical times for feeding.  DO NOT DISTURB ANY PIPING PLOVERS!

Piping Plovers have returned, please help keep them safe!2023-03-20T15:15:47-04:00
