Helicopters Spray For Mosquitoes In Sudbury

SUDBURY, MA—Little buggers. Don't be concerned if you see a helicopter circling over your neighborhood sometime in April.

To get ahead of the game, the East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project will be conducting a helicopter application of the biological larvicide, Bti, to control mosquito larvae in mid-April and following flooding spring rains.

The application will be conducted over specific large wetlands in Bedford, Belmont, Burlington, Concord, Framingham, Hyde Park, Lexington, Maynard, Medford, Melrose, Newton, North Reading, Reading, Sudbury, Wakefield, Waltham, Wayland, Wellesley, West Roxbury, Weston and Winchester.

The trade name of the Bti formulation name is VectoBac G (EPA Reg. #73049-10).
