MOSQUITO CONTROL

Another proposal for mosquito control will be on the 2008 Town Meeting Warrant. Click here to read that proposal.

Mosquito control is a continuous program. It is anticipated that we would need to continue every year with a similar program and expenditure, and that the effects of these activities will be long-term.

Click here for Wetlands & WNV Fact sheet

  The following website has information such as "Mosquito 101 for Home
Owners" and much of the product information.

Go to:    www.adapcoinc.com/homeowners.php

You can move around into the products, this is where we researched some of the pesticides that are mentioned in the proposals above.

Additionally, both the US and Canada have public health websites with a lot of information on mosquitos, their diseases, and pesticides:

www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/pesticides

www.pmra-arla.gc.ca

The NH DHHS website also has put together the Arbovirus Illness Surveillance, Prevention and Response Plan. It is available at
www.dhhs.nh.gov

UNH Cooperative Extension has also done some research and has a thorough report and information for review at:
