To help county residents reduce the number of mosquitoes on their property, Rockland County Executive Ed Day and County Health Commissioner Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert have announced the availability of free mosquito control products:
Mosquito Dunks®: Come to the Health Department, Building D, 50 Sanatorium Road in Pomona, Mondays – Fridays, from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. for a free one month’s supply of Mosquito Dunks®. They are available now through October 31, while supplies last. Dunks are small, donut-shaped objects that float on the water’s surface and release bacteria that kill mosquitoes in their larval stage in water, before they become flying, biting adults. They are for use in closed or unused private swimming pools and spas, and are effective for approximately 30 days. A single dunk will treat an area of about 100 square feet. Always follow the label instructions when using Mosquito Dunks® or any other pesticide. It is important to know the approximate dimensions of your pool/spa to ensure that you get the proper number of dunks for effective treatment. In addition, residents can request free larvicide tablets by calling the New York State Department of Health at 1-888-364-4723…
