Turbot Township Fire Company

An aerial black fly suppression operation has been scheduled for tomorrow, June 9, on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River and local streams including Penns... Creek, Middle Creek, Loyalsock Creek and Pine Creek. This operation will begin near Selinsgrove at 7 a.m. on Wednesday and will move up river, ending Wednesday afternoon in Renovo. This aerial application will include flights in Snyder, Union, Northumberland, Lycoming and Clinton counties. The helicopter will be a Bell 206 with the tail number N653HA and is grey with red and blue stripes. Helicopter Applicators Inc. will be dispersing Vectobac 12AS, which is a Bti product manufactured by Valent Biosciences. Bti is short for Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis, which is a bacterial larvicide, not a chemical, and is the only product used in Pennsylvania's waterways for black fly suppression. Vectobac 12AS is a thick brown liquid resembling chocolate milk. The helicopter will fly low near tree top level and release the Vectobac 12AS at various predetermined positions on the river. Please do not be alarmed if you see this activity and allow the helicopter crew to complete its work.
