Public Notice: Mosquito Control Program Begins April 10th

The Mosquito Control program begins the week of April 10, 2023 in the Town of Exeter. Crews from Dragon Mosquito Control, Inc. will be checking swamps, salt marshes, woodland pools, catch basins, ditches, storm drains and other shallow, stagnant water for mosquito larvae. When mosquito larvae are found, treatment may occur using one or more of the following insecticides:

• VectoBac (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis 2.8%)
• VectoBac 12 AS (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis 11.61%)
• Fourstar Bti CRG (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis 10%)
• Natular (spinosad 2.5%)
• BVA 2 Mosquito Larvicide Oil (mineral oil 97.0%)
• SunSpray MLO (mineral oil 98.8%)

There is no schedule at this time to conduct emergency spraying for disease carrying mosquitoes. The determination to spray adult mosquitoes at town and school owned property is based on mosquito surveillance data, disease test results and weather conditions upon concurrence with town officials. Diseases such as EEE and West Nile Virus are found in mosquitoes during the latter part of the summer and early fall. Further communication will be given if emergency spraying is going to take place.
