Officials Respond to Complaints About Mosquitoes

In response to residents’ complaints about the mosquito population in Natick, the Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control Project visits Natick on the following tentative dates to investigate the situation: June 4, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24 and 25.

The above dates are subject to change due to weather conditions, mosquito populations, mosquito virus activity and /or special event spraying, said the announcement. This program will shut down when cool night time temperature becomes predominant in this area.

A detailed notice about our spray schedule is posted on the CMMCP phone system after 3:30 p.m. each day, and it is also listed on our website.

Complaints about mosquitoes may be registered by calling the CMMPC office at 508-393-3055 between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The results of an investigation may warrant the use of a mosquito insecticide to defined site-specific areas of the town, said the release. Such an application may be accomplished by using hand or truck-mounted equipment depending on the extent of the application.

Anyone who wishes to have their property excluded from spraying should notify the city/town clerk and the CMMCP office.
