All spraying will be done<strong> between dusk and 11:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spraying is scheduled for neighborhoods of Framingham that are located in the vicinity of Woodland Dr., Spruce St., Anderson Rd., Lowther Rd., Debra Ln., Morse Rd., Lockland Ave. and Prospect St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The mosquito control product being used is Zenivex E4<em> (EPA Reg No. 2724.807),<\/em> and it\u2019s being applied at one ounce per acre. Zenivex E4 is a non-ester pyrethroid and is classified by the EPA as a reduced-risk pesticide. Mosquito control applications of Zenivex E4 do not pose a significant risk to people or their pets due to the low toxicity and the small amount used to control mosquitoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As with any pesticide, people should minimize their exposure<\/strong>!  If residents see a spray truck approaching, they are advised to go indoors for a few 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. Zenivex E4 biodegrades rapidly and therefore doesn\u2019t build up in the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If postponed, spraying will be rescheduled for the following week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If residents have any questions related to mosquitoes or mosquito control, contact the East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project at 781-899-5730.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spraying schedule can be found at the Project website at: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/emmcp\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/emmcp\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Framingham Media Alert<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FRAMINGHAM, MA &#8212; The East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project is planning to use a truck-mounted aerosol sprayer to apply \u201creduced-risk pesticide\u201d to decrease mosquito populations in Framingham Tuesday, June 29, 2021.
