If you did not meet the deadline to have spraying done by the county and still want your property sprayed you can contact the company that will be in the area doing the spraying.  Helicopter Applicators Inc. 717-337-1370 has different prices per acre depending on the number of acres to be sprayed.

There are also treatments that can be applied by homeowners.  If you want to get on the list for next year, or want information on treatments that can be applied by homeowners, please contact Jeffrey Carrol at the Lehigh County Cooperative Extension Office 610-391-9840.
