Mosquito spraying will take place in a number for neighborhoods between 2 and 6 a.m. Friday morning.
Parts of Cherry Hill will be sprayed for mosquitos for the first time this summer overnight.
The Camden County Mosquito Commission will spray some neighborhoods in Cherry Hill early Friday morning between the hours of 2 and 6 a.m. The commission regularly checks several thousand suspected mosquito breeding sites across the county. Spraying is scheduled on an as needed basis based upon the results of their surveillance efforts.
“It is important that you regularly check your yard for the presence of standing water,” said Freeholder Jeff Nash, liaison to the Camden County Mosquito Commission. “Removing standing water where mosquitoes can thrive will protect your family from the pests, and will assist the efforts of the Camden County Mosquito Control Commission.”
The following streets in Cherry Hill are scheduled for spraying:
Chelton Parkway
• Drake Road
• Queens Road
• Princess Road
• Edgemoor Road
• Orlando Road

“The commission works with the Public Health Environmental Laboratories in Trenton to verify the presence of West Nile Virus and other communicable diseases in their samples,” Nash said. “If a pool tests positive, the Mosquito Commission returns to spray the area. The sprayings take place when the mosquitoes are most active.”
The mosquito spray is not harmful to humans or pets, but residents should avoid direct contact if they have respiratory concerns or are sensitive to irritants.
