Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control Project personnel will be in our community to investigate resident's complaints about mosquitoes on the following dates during July, 2009: August 6, 13, 20, 27 and September 3rd.
The above dates are very tentative, and are subject to change due to weather conditions, mosquito populations and mosquito virus activity. This program will shut down when cool night time temperature becomes predominant in this area. A notice about our spray schedule is posted on the CMMCP phone system after 3:00pm each day, and it is also listed on our website.
Complaints about mosquitoes may be registered by calling the CMMCP office at 508-393-3055 between 7:00am - 3:30pm, Monday through Friday.
The results of an investigation may warrant the use of a mosquito insecticide to defined, site-specific areas of the town. Such an application may be accomplished by using hand or truck mounted equipment, depending on the extent of the application.
Per 333CMR13.04: "No intentional application of pesticides shall be made to private property which has been designated for exclusion from such application by a person living on or legally in control of said property." Notices were sent to all City and Town Clerks in February to alert them of the pesticide exclusion process; CMMCP will continue to accept exemptions during the spray season. Rresidents should contact their Town or City clerk for more information on the exclusion process, or may contact the CMMCP office during business hours or apply for an exclusion through our website.
If you have a mosquito problem or would like additional information, please contact the Stow Board of Health
(978-897-4592) or call the Central Mass. Mosquito Control Project directly (508-393-3055).
