East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project to Spray Wednesday and Thursday

The East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project will spray for mosquitoes using truck mounted ULV sprayers in town on Wednesday and Thursday between dusk and 11:30 p.m.

Spraying is scheduled for areas near Summit Drive, Ash Street, John Street, Salem Street, Charles Street and Colonial Drive on Wednesday. They will also spray near Van Norden Street, Forest Street, Grove Street, High Street, Summer Avenue, Lowell Street and West Street between Winslow Road and the Wilmington town line Wednesday. 

Areas near Rustic Lane, Sanborne Lane, Dividence Road and William Road will be sprayed Thursday.  

The spray contains the pesticide sumithrin to control mosquitoes, according to the East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project. The spray does not pose a significant risk to people or pets due to the low toxicity, but residents should still minimize exposure. Go indoors while the trucks are spraying and close windows that face the street, the East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project said.
