Mosquito Spraying

Board Meetings

Minutes & Financials 

The Central Mass. Mosquito Control Project relies mainly on four different products for biological/chemical mosquito control as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. Two are for larval control, two are used for larvae and pupae, and two are for adult mosquito control. For detailed information, please check out the Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control Project (www.cmmcp.org), a not-for-profit organization.

From the website:

"The goal is to reduce mosquito exposure to the public, and potential for disease transmission by mosquitoes, by utilizing proven, sound mosquito control techniques. CMMCP believes the best way to accomplish this task is by practicing and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach as it relates to mosquito control in Massachusetts."

For further information about the pesticides used, please see the website www.cmmcp.org. The product for mosquito spraying has a very low toxicity to mammals, as well as dogs, cats, birds and other organisms.

 

Minutes can be found here.

Financials are posted here.

Heart Walk
Everyone knows someone affected by heart disease or stroke. For those I love, I will be walking in this year's Heart Walk in memory of my Dad. I have set a personal goal to raise funds for the American Heart Association and need your help to reach my donation goal. We are raising critical dollars for heart disease and stroke research and education.

You can help me reach my goal by making a donation online. Click on the link below and you will be taken to my personal donation page where you can make a secure online credit card donation. The American Heart Association's online fundraising website has a minimum donation amount of $25.00. If you prefer to donate less, you can do so by sending a check directly to me.

Your donation will help fight our nation's No. 1 and No. 3 killers--heart disease and stroke. You are making a difference. Thank you for your support.

How YOU Can Stop Mosquitoes!

Check you unit and the area surrounding it...

If there are any places where water collects...you may be raising mosquitoes!

Get rid of tin cans, bottles, jars, buckets, drums and other containers, cover them, or empty and rinse them on a weekly basis.

Every week you should...Change water and scrub vases holding flowers or cuttings; scrub and change water in bird baths; empty & rinse water pans for pets.

REMEMBER
MOSQUITOES NEED STAGNANT WATER TO DEVELOP - EMPTY THOSE CONTAINERS!
