This 2006 file photo provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows a female Aedes aegypti mosquito in the process of acquiring a blood meal from a human host. A study published Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022, in the journal Cell, finds that certain people really are “mosquito magnets” who get bitten more than others — and it probably has to do with the way they smell.

YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — Manchester Township in York County is scheduled to be sprayed for mosquitos on Tuesday, August 22.

The York County Mosquito Disease Control Program will be conducting the spray at about 9 p.m., weather permitting.

Both residential and recreational areas will be sprayed using the product AquaDUET which will be applied at a rate of 0.75 oz./acre

The spray was scheduled due to the detection of high populations of adult mosquitos capable of transmitting West Nile Virus in the area. Pending West Nile Virus test results may cancel the spray.

In the event of weather or other unexpected events, the spray will be rescheduled for Tuesday August 29.
