All spraying will be done between dusk and 11:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spraying is scheduled for neighborhoods of Framingham that are located in the vicinity of Savoy Road, Angela Road, Doris Road, August Drive, Sylvester Drive and Mayflower Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The mosquito control product being used is Zenivex E4 (EPA Reg No. 2724.807), 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<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>As with any pesticide, people should minimize their exposure. 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>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.
