Haynes Rd., Mossman Rd., Ford Rd., and areas located north of Rt. 117.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;The Project uses a spray formulation containing the pesticide, sumithrin, to control mosquitoes.&nbsp; Sumithrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that is classified as slightly toxic by the EPA.&nbsp; Mosquito control applications of sumithrin do not pose a significant risk to people or their pets due to the low toxicity of sumithrin and the small amount used to control mosquitoes.&nbsp; As with any pesticide, people should minimize exposure.&nbsp; If residents see a spray truck approaching, they are advised to go indoors for a couple of minutes while the spray dissipates.&nbsp; Residents are also advised to close windows facing the street.&nbsp; Beekeepers do not need to take any special precautions, because spraying begins after dusk.<\/p>\n<p>Information regarding the schedule and areas to be sprayed is available via a recorded message at 781-893-5759 and at the Project&#8217;s website at <a href=\"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/emmcp\">sudbury.ma.us\/emmcp<\/a>&nbsp; If residents have any questions related to the spraying or any questions on mosquitoes, call the East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project at 781-899-5730.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday September 3 <a href=\"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/boardofhealth\/2013\/08\/30\/mosquito-spraying-scheduled-2\/\" aria-label=\"Read full article about Mosquito Spraying Scheduled\">Read full article<span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[1,6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/boardofhealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/boardofhealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/boardofhealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/boardofhealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/boardofhealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/boardofhealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":848,"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/boardofhealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17\/revisions\/848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/boardofhealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/boardofhealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudbury.ma.us\/boardofhealth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
