WESTON, MA — Truck-mounted mosquito spraying is scheduled to come to Weston on Monday, if weather cooperates. The spraying comes as the state has discovered the first mosquitoes infected with Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in Massachusetts.
Spraying will be done on Monday, if weather postpones the spraying it will happen sometime in the week of August 3rd.
The truck will apply a product called Anvil, which contains a pesticide called sumithrin that kills adult mosquitoes. Experts say the pesticide poses minimal risk to humans and pets, but Weston is advising that residents avoid the spray truck.
