Notice of Aerial Larval Control Application
In accordance with 333 CMR 13.05 (2) (a & b), please consider this as notification of the pending spring (and summer if needed) aerial applications targeting mosquito larvae in the larger wetlands of the county.
The Norfolk County Mosquito Control Project will be conducting helicopter applications of the biorational larvicide Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) to control mosquito larvae. Go to the Projects website for spring wetland locations. The summer wetland locations will be posted if these applications are warranted. These applications will be conducted over specific large wetlands in the Towns of:
Avon/Bellingham/Braintree/Canton/Dedham/Dover/Foxboro/Franklin/Holbrook/
Medfield/Medway/Millis/Milton/Needham/Norfolk/Norwood/Plainville/Quincy/
Randolph/Sharon/ Stoughton/Walpole/Westwood/Weymouth/Wrentham area.
These applications will be conducted between April 19 through April 22, 2011. . If the application cannot be completed by then, the application will continue beyond these dates. As always, the weather in the spring is unpredictable. For this reason the Project cannot pin down these dates with any more accuracy. If there is a need to change these dates due to inclement weather, the Project will attempt via fax or phone call to inform you of these changes.
The trade name of the granular formulations of Bti to be used is VectoBac G (EPA Reg. #73049-10). For further information contact John J. Smith, Director at (781) 762-3681 or the Boards of Health in the towns listed above. Information is also available on line at http://massnrc.org/ncmcp
