Framingham, MA – The City of Framingham was informed that the East Middlesex
Mosquito Control Project is planning to use a truck-mounted aerosol sprayer to
apply Sumithrin in Framingham on Tuesday, July 7, 2020. All spraying will be
done between dusk and 11:30 p.m.
On Tuesday, July 7, 2020, spraying will be done in areas of Framingham that are
located in the vicinity of Savoy Rd., Clara Rd., Swanson Rd., Riverpath Dr.,
Maymont Dr., Karal Dr., Norman Dr., Brookfield Ter. and Meadow Ln.
If postponed, spraying will be rescheduled for the week beginning July 13,
2020.
East Middlesex uses a product called Anvil to control mosquitoes. Anvil
contains the pesticide, sumithrin, which is a pyrethroid that is classified as
slightly toxic by the EPA. Mosquito control applications of sumithrin do not
pose a significant risk to people or their pets due to the low toxicity of
sumithrin and the small amount used to control mosquitoes. As with any
pesticide, people should minimize exposure. If residents see a spray truck
approaching, they are advised to go indoors for a couple of minutes while the
spray dissipates. Residents are also advised to close windows. Beekeepers do
not need to take any special precautions since spraying begins after dusk.
If residents have any questions related to mosquitoes or mosquito control,
contact the East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project at (781) 899-5730. The
spray schedule can be found at the Project website at
