Aerial Treatment
Our airplane treatment happens once a year usually in April. It is to treat the standing water in woodlots throughout the county from snow melt and spring rainfall.
We treat some Midland County flooded woodlots via our aerial program using Vectobac 12AS liquid and Vectobac G granular Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis). The material used in this program is a naturally-occurring soil bacterium that is toxic to mosquitoes and related biting flies, but nontoxic for humans, pets, and all other life forms. Please refer to the Safety Data Sheets and material labels (below) for additional information regarding aerial materials.
