Three Camden County Towns to Participate in 2011 Spray Program
(TRENTON) – New Jersey Department of Agriculture surveys of 148 New Jersey municipalities have found three areas in one county that qualify for the state’s Aerial Gypsy Moth Suppression Program for 2011.
The Department today proposed spraying a total of 343 acres in the Camden County towns of Chesilhurst, Waterford Township and Winslow Township.
\”Even though we are seeing low gypsy moth populations at this time, we must remain vigilant with our surveillance and spray programs to keep those numbers down,\” said New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher. \”We have seen in the past how quickly populations can explode given the right conditions. We need to keep up our intense monitoring to suppress these tree-killing insects.\”
