Shrewsbury Mosquito Spraying Planned For Late July

SHREWSBURY, MA — Mosquito control crews are scheduled to return to Shrewsbury once more this month as part of a seasonal response program.

The Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control Project is set to be in Shrewsbury on July 28 to respond to resident concerns about mosquitoes, according to the Shrewsbury Board of Health.

The date is tentative and may change due to weather, mosquito populations, mosquito virus activity or special event spraying. The program will continue until cool nighttime temperatures become common in the area.

Residents may request service by calling CMMCP at 508-393-3055 between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday or by using the agency’s website. Requests may lead to mosquito insecticide applications in specific areas of town, including with truck-mounted equipment, according to CMMCP.

Daily spray schedule details are posted on the CMMCP phone system and website after 3:30 p.m., according to the town notice. Residents may also seek pesticide exclusion for private property under state regulations.
