Mosquito Control
The Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control Project personnel will be in Billerica to investigate resident complaints about Mosquitoes on the following dates:
July 2, 11, 17, 23, 26 and August 1, 7,13, 16, 22 and 28
This program will shut down when cool night time temperatures become predominant. A notice about the spray schedule is posted on the CMMCP phone system after 3:30 PM each day and it is also listed on their website.
Complaints about mosquitoes may be registered by calling the CMMCP office at 508-393-3055 between 7 AM and 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday.
The results of an investigation may warrant the use of mosquito insecticide to defined, site specific areas of the town. Such 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 their Town of City Clerk for more information on the exclusion process, or may contact the CMMCP officer during business hours or apply for an exclusion through the website.
