The Hampton Mosquito Control program begins the week of April 8. Crews from Dragon Mosquito Control, Inc. will be checking swamps, salt marshes, woodland pools, ditches, catch basins, storm drains and other shallow, stagnant water for mosquito larvae. When mosquito larvae are found, treatment may occur using one or more insecticides. A list can be found here: List of Insecticides and Additional Details.
Beginning in June, a truck mounted sprayer will disperse Duet (prallethrin 1% & sumithrin 5%) along roadways at night. Road spraying may continue into September. It is not possible to predict the dates of treatment this far in advance. The frequency of night time spraying along roadways is based upon mosquito surveillance data and weather conditions.
Further communication will be given if emergency spraying is going to take place.
