ANNAPOLIS, MD (July 28, 2026) ~ Annapolis, MD - The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) has announced plans to expand mosquito control services in certain areas due to concerns over potential mosquito-borne diseases. This decision comes in cooperation with the Prince George's County Health Department.
According to MDA, Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) truck-based spraying will take place on the evening of Thursday, July 30, 2026 in Bladensburg. The spraying will occur after 9:00 p.m. ET and will be rescheduled for Friday, July 31, 2026 if there is inclement weather. Any existing spray exemptions in the area will be temporarily suspended during this time.
The MDA Mosquito Control Program will be using a permethrin-based solution that has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use in public health mosquito control programs. The solution is deemed safe for human health, but as a precautionary measure, MDA recommends avoiding outdoor activities during the spraying.

While not all mosquitoes carry diseases, MDA advises residents to take precautions to minimize their exposure to mosquito bites. These measures include wearing long, loose-fitting and light-colored clothing, using insect repellents according to product labels, avoiding mosquito-infested areas during peak activity times (dusk and dawn), and regularly cleaning bird baths and pet food/water bowls. It is also recommended to remove or empty any water-holding containers.
Residents can find routine spray program schedules by county on the program's website and are encouraged to contact MDA's Mosquito Control Program at (410) 841-5870 with any questions or concerns.
This expansion of mosquito control services serves as a proactive measure by MDA and the Prince George's County Health Department to protect public health from potential mosquito-borne diseases.
