Mosquito Control

The Mosquito Control program begins April 13, 2009 in the Town of Danville. Crews will be checking swamps, woodland pools, ditches, storm drains and other shallow, stagnant water for mosquito larvae. When mosquitoes are found, the following insecticides may be used: VectoBac (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis), Altosid (methoprene), Agnique MMF (poly-isooctadecyl-hydroxyl), Mosquito Larvicide GB-1111 (aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons) and BVA 2 Mosquito Larvicide Oil (highly refined petroleum distillate).

If Eastern Equine Encephalitis or West Nile Virus is found in or near Danville, then emergency adulticiding using Anvil (sumithrin), Permanone (permethrin), Flit (permethrin), Bifen I/T (bifenthrin) or Wisdom TC Flowable (bifenthrin) may be done at the following locations: Elementary School, Colby Pond Field, Goldthwaite Field, Day Field, and Church Field. It is not possible to predict if emergency spraying will be necessary. The spray schedule is based upon mosquito surveillance data, disease test results and weather conditions. Further communication will be given if emergency spraying is going to take place.

Residents who do not want their property treated must contact Dragon Mosquito Control in writing at P.O. Box 46, Stratham, NH 03885. Otherwise, control measures may be done on your property if needed. Residents may call 964-8400 for more information on spray dates, location, materials used, precautions or other concerns.
