Tick-Borne Disease Awareness - Camp Sewataro's Prevention Plan

Due to the growing number of diseases related to ticks and mosquitoes, Sewataro has implemented an Insect Control plan.

The property is sprayed with bifenthrin two times a year, once in the spring and once in the fall – the two hatching periods for ticks.

The campgrounds are being sprayed today; this includes all the perimeters of the property, as well as all the edges of all walking trails throughout the camp.

We also use a garlic spray twice a summer to repel mosquitoes (also a repellent to ticks). This is done the evening prior to each Overnight, as the campers will be on the property the following evening, when mosquitoes are the most active.
