Public Notice - Mosquito Control Program Applications Beginning May 18th.

Public Notice

Town of Hudson Public Health Mosquito Control Program

West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis

 

Applications to control larval mosquitos will begin on May 18th, 2026 in the Town of Hudson. Larval mosquitoes will be controlled in areas such as salt marshes, cattail marshes, red maple swamps, woodland pools, flooded fields, roadside ditches, and flooded stormwater basins.  Mosquito larvae found in street and parking lot catch basins will also be controlled.

The primary control agent will be a bacterium larvacide called Vectobac (BTI). These environmentally- friendly biological controls are very specific to mosquito larvae and are used worldwide in mosquito control. The bacterium is naturally occurring and will not replicate in the environment. Applications to control larvae will continue as needed until December 15, 2026.  Control agents will only be applied where larvae are collected.

Town officials may decide to complete emergency adulticide (bifenthrin) spraying to parks, athletic fields, schools, and other public areas should a public health emergency dictate.

Many mosquito breeding areas have been identified already. Please contact Municipal Pest Management Services, Inc. if you have areas of standing water that may support mosquito breeding on our website, www.swamp-inc.com.

Persons not wishing their properties treated must contact the Fire Marshal in writing. He can be contacted at Dave Hebert, Fire Marshal, Hudson Fire Department, 12 School Street Hudson, NH 03051.
