PROGRAM SHUTS DOWN WHEN COOL NIGHT TIME
TEMPERATURE BECOMES PREDOMINANT IN THE AREA.

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 3:30 pm each day, and it is also listed on our web site: http://www.cmmcp.org

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
Executive Director
