Re: Notice of Aerial Larval Control Application
In accordance with 333 CMR 13.04 (7) (a & b), please consider this as notification of the pending aerial application targeting mosquito larvae in the wetlands in the District.
The Norfolk County Mosquito Control District will be conducting helicopter applications of the biorational larvicide Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) to control mosquito larvae. These applications will be conducted over specific large wetlands in the Towns of:
Avon/Bellingham/Braintree/Canton/Dedham/Dover/Foxboro/Franklin/HolbrookMedfield/Medway/Millis/Milton/Needham/Norfolk/Norwood/Plainville/Quincy Randolph/Sharon/Stoughton/Walpole/Westwood/Weymouth/Wrentham.
These applications will be conducted for 2 to 3 days, anytime between April16, 2013 through April 26, 2013. If the application cannot be completed by then, the application will continue beyond these dates. As always, the weather in the spring is unpredictable. For this reason the District cannot pin down these dates with any more accuracy. If there is a need to change these dates due to inclement weather, the District will attempt via fax or phone call to inform you of these changes.
The trade name of the granular formulations of Bti to be used is VectoBac G (EPA Reg. #73049-10). For further information contact David A. Lawson, Director at (781) 762-3681 or the Boards of Health in the towns listed above. Information is also available on line at www: norfolkcountymosquito.org
