Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control Project
personnel will be in your community to investigate resident's complanits
about mosquitoes on the following dates during ................
SPRING OF 2009
The
above dates are very tentative, and this program will be suspended
when cool night time temperature and/or low mosquito populations
becomes predominant in this area. A notice about our
spray schedule is posted on the CMMCP phone system after 3:30
pm each day, and it is also listed on our web site: http://www.cmmcp.org This
program may restart in specific areas only if mosquito-borne
virus is identified, subject to coordination with local and state
officials.
Complaints
about mosquitoes may be registered by calling the CMMCP office
at 508/393-3055 between 7:00 am to 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday.
The
results of an investigation may warrant the use of a mosquito insecticide
to define 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.
Residents should contact the Town 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.
Sincerely,
Timothy D. Deschamps
