Dear fellow Hanoverians:
With all the rain we =
had in
June, the mosquitoes have been brutal! This information was posted =
on the
town’s website recently and I thought it would be of =
interest:
Residents
of Hanover can request their property be sprayed for mosquitoes free of =
charge.
Spraying is done by the Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project and =
typically
takes place between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. Monday – Friday. =
Please e-mail
your request to be sprayed to health@hanover-ma.gov =
. You must include your street address, last name =
and your
phone number. You may only request your property to be sprayed. =
Each property
owner must send their own e-mail. It would be most effective if as =
many people
on your street request spraying at the same time. If you do not have =
access to
a computer, you may call the Hanover Health Office at (781) 826-4611 =
(e-mails
are preferred). For a description of the pesticides most commonly =
used at
Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project, or a list of frequently asked
questions, please visit their website at www.plymouthmosquito.com =
.
I will add that my neighbors and I sent in our =
requests two
weeks ago, and we were finally sprayed this morning. According to =
the folks at
Mosquito Control, they have been backed up because of the rain. So =
it does take
some time! Just fyi.
