ANNAPOLIS, MD (September 24, 2024) ~ Annapolis, MD - The Maryland Department of Agriculture, in partnership with the Baltimore County Health Department, has announced plans to expand mosquito control services in response to a public health concern over the potential spread of mosquito-borne diseases. The Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) truck-based spraying will take place on the evening of Wednesday, September 25, 2024 in Relay near the intersection of Oakland Road and Herron Drive.
According to officials, spraying will begin after 7:30 p.m. and will be rescheduled for the next available evening in case of inclement weather. Any existing spray exemptions in the area will be temporarily suspended during this time.
The Maryland Department of Agriculture's Mosquito Control Program personnel will use a permethrin-based solution that has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use in public health mosquito control programs. This solution is deemed safe for human health, but as a precautionary measure, MDA recommends avoiding outdoor activities during spraying.

While not all mosquitoes carry diseases, residents are advised 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), installing and regularly inspecting window and door screens at home and stables, cleaning bird baths and pet bowls regularly, and removing or emptying any water-holding containers.
To stay updated on any unscheduled spray events or other important information about mosquito control in Maryland, residents are encouraged to follow the department's Facebook page @MdAgDept. Routine spray program schedules can also be found on the program's website by county.
