RESIDENTIAL SPRAY TREATMENT REQUESTS ARE CONCLUDED FOR 2026!

Residents may request spray treatments for their own private property, through Northeast Mosquito, by completing a service request form at the button below from May 31^st to September 10^th.  Requests can be made on a weekly basis from Sunday, 7:00 AM through Wednesday, 12:00 PM.  

There’s a science-based reason behind it.

The adulticiding (spraying) service is designed to respond only when there's a noticeable mosquito problem. When residents in the same area submit multiple requests, it signals to our field technicians that something may be going on. We’ll then go out to investigate. Often, it turns out to be something simple—like standing water in a birdbath or bucket—that’s causing mosquitoes to breed nearby.

We understand this can feel inconvenient, but here’s why we do it: Spraying typically happens Thursday nights. Waiting until Sunday gives residents time to see if the treatment worked or if the issue is continuing and needs further investigation.

While the service is already provided at no cost to residents in our member communities, we ask that you don’t request treatment just because it’s available or “free.” Requests should be based on real mosquito activity so that we can accurately identify and respond to problem areas.

NEMMC is committed to responsible, science-based mosquito control that protects public health while minimizing unnecessary pesticide use. 

1. Pick and always use a mosquito-repellant with an EPA/CDC approved active ingredient when outdoors
2. Use long sleeves to cover up whenever possible and repair screens in windows of homes
3. Avoid outdoor activity between the hours of dusk and dawn in elevated risk areas   

1.  Make it a habit to check yourself, your children, and pets after coming inside especially from April to November.  A tick check works best if you start low - legs, groin - and then move up to the waist band, torso, arms, armpits, the backs of the ears, and finally the scalp and hair.

2.  Use repellents that contain DEET on your skin and treat your clothing and shoes with Permethrin.  View more information about CDC-approved insect repellants.

3.  Wear light-colored clothing that fully covers your legs and arms.  Tuck in loose ends (shirt into pants, pants into socks).  

1.  One of the most common signs of Lyme disease is a round, oval or bull's eye shaped rash.  It can be red in color or darker than your normal skin tone.  

2.  Other symptoms of Lyme disease are body aches, fever, headache, swollen or painful joints, or tingling in your hands or feet.  You might feel like you have the flu.

1.  Call you or your child's primary care provider for assistance.

2.  Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible and pull upward with steady, even force.

3.  If the tick breaks in half, try to remove its mouth from the skin.  If you can't leave it alone.

4. Thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands.

5.  Monitor the bite area for several weeks.  Call a doctor immediately if a rash develops or if you develop a fever at any point.
