  • Mosquito Spraying in Framingham on Wed., June 9, 2008

    FRAMINGHAM, MA — The East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project will be spraying for mosquitoes in neighborhood areas of Framingham on Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 between dusk and 11:30 PM.

    Spraying will be done in neighborhoods of Saxonville including streets in the vicinity of Elm St., Pinewood Dr., Griffin Rd., Danforth St., School St., Brownlea Rd. and Lake Rd.

    Spraying will also be done in south Framingham in neighborhoods located south of Waverly St. If spraying is postponed for any reason; it will be rescheduled for Monday, July 14th.

    The Project uses a spray formulation that contains the pesticide product, Anvil to control mosquitoes. Anvil contains the pesticide, sumithrin, which is a synthetic pyrethroid that is classified as a slightly toxic pesticide by the EPA. Mosquito control applications of sumithrin do not pose a significant risk to people or their pets due to the low toxicity of sumithrin and the small amount used to control mosquitoes.

    As with any pesticide, people should minimize exposure. If residents see a spray truck approaching, they are advised to go indoors for a few minutes while the spray dissipates. Residents are also advised to close windows facing the street.

    A recorded message providing the spray schedule is available at 781-893-5759. If residents have any questions related to the spraying or any questions on mosquitoes, contact the East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project at 781-899-5730.
