Camden County mosquito control trucks will roll through more than 40 Cherry Hill streets early Wednesday, Sept. 2, spraying for mosquitoes between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.

The Camden County Mosquito Commission announced the ultra-low volume (ULV) spraying operation, which is weather-dependent. The trucks will also hit streets in Audubon and Runnemede the same night, according to the county's advisory.

Cherry Hill streets on the spray route:

Graham Ave., Warren Ave., Wynwood Ave., Fulton St., Chambers Ave., Mercer St., Sherwood Ave., Murray Ave., Severn Ave., Dover St., Hollis Ave., Martin Ave., Bedford Ave., Hanover Ave., S. Bowling Green Dr., Bryant Rd., N. Bowling Green Dr., Cranford Rd., Beverly Terr., Badger Ln., Randle Dr., Randle Ct., Granville Dr., Wyndmoor Rd., Teaberry Dr., Forge Rd., Winston Way, Covered Bridge Rd., Kingswood Ct., Chapel Ave., Deer Rd., Greenvale Rd., Doe Ln., Fawn Dr., Hart Rd., Holden Rd., Park Rd., Wade Dr., Clark Dr., Carlton Rd., Logan Dr., Frontage Rd., Greenvale Ct. and Gardner Rd.

Commissioner Jeffrey Nash, the county's liaison to the Mosquito Commission, urged residents to check their yards before the trucks arrive.

"Being proactive has a major impact on the mosquito population and helps the hardworking people at the Camden County Mosquito Control Commission in their efforts," Nash said.

The commission said even a teaspoon of stagnant water can host more than 100 mosquito eggs. Residents on the spray route should close windows and doors, bring pets inside before 1 a.m. and remove standing water from flowerpots, bird baths and tarps.

Other steps the commission recommends: maintain swimming pool chemicals, change water in bird baths and fountains weekly, add larvicide to ornamental ponds and screen windows and door vents.

In an Aug. 20 advisory about that week's spraying, Nash said the commission works with the New Jersey Public Health Environmental Laboratories in Trenton to test for West Nile virus. When an area tests positive, the commission returns to spray when mosquitoes are most active.

Nash said at the time that the commission considers the spray not harmful to humans or pets but that people with respiratory concerns or sensitivity to irritants should avoid direct contact.

Residents can contact the Camden County Mosquito Commission at (856) 566-2945 or [email protected] to report standing water or get more information.
