Dauphin County Conservation District. He gave a very informative talk
about the new pest that has emerged; The Asian Tiger Mosquito which has
increased its presence over the last two years. This mosquito likes to
live and lay their eggs in outdoor containers, ivy and usually it is
within 100 yards that they are biting. The mosquito bites during the
daytime usually around the ankles up to the knees. The mosquito lay
between 40-150 eggs after obtaining a blood meal. Diseases that this
mosquito can carry include: Dog Heartworm, Encephalitis, and West Nile
Virus.
Ways to control: Eliminate the breeding containers and biodegradable
repellents will work but you must get to the source of the nest.
Other New Business to come before the Health Board include: Dr. Bakare
mentioned that a noise problem is going on throughout the Crooked Hill
Road area. Chief Martin will check into this matter.
It was also brought up about people parking their cars on the lawns and
