Aerial mosquito treatment - 10 March 2020

In accordance with the City’s Mosquito Management Plan, due to recent high tides inundating the wetlands, larval activity now requires treatment.

The City is planning to undertake an aerial larvicide treatment by Heliwest on 10 March 2020 between 9am and 3pm. The treatment will occur in the wetland area south of Waterford from Cygnia Cove through to the Salter Point Lagoon.

A new product called Vectoprime FG will be used and applied at label rates https://www.valentbiosciences.com/publichealth/products/vectoprime/.

Exact treatment time will depend on Perth Air Traffic Control clearance.  For further information regarding the treatment or mosquito management please refer to the City's Mosquito Management Plan or contact the City.
