Who does the spraying of adulticides?
Most pesticide application for mosquito control is done by Regional Mosquito Control Projects under the management of the State Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board. The Projects have full-time professional staff to advise and assist member cities and towns on mosquito control strategies. Most types of larvicides and adulticides can only be applied in Massachusetts by the Projects. Cities and towns that do not belong to a Project and wish to begin mosquito control activities can either join or contract with a Project or hire commercially licensed pesticide applicators.
