Mosquito Notice

Please be advised that Suffolk County Vector Control will be applying the larvaecide known as Altosid via helicopter in Clam Pond Cove on Tuesdays throughout the spring and summer anytime between the hours of 8:00am and 12:00 noon.

Altosid is a mosquito growth regulator that prevents adult mosquito emergence. It is applied in the form of pellets or liquid and prevents mosquito larvae from maturing into adult mosquitoes. Vector Control has found Altosid to be the most effective mosquito growth regulator for salt marsh mosquitoes and has been applied to Clam Pond Cove in similar fashion since 1999.

A Specimen Label of Altosid is available in the Village Office. If you have any questions about Altosid or Vectolex, the growth regulator used in the freshwater in Saltaire, please call:
