ANNAPOLIS, MD (August 14, 2024) ~ Annapolis, MD - The Maryland Department of Agriculture, in partnership with the Prince George's 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. On the evening of August 15, 2024, Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) truck-based spraying will take place in the City of Bowie, specifically in areas north of US Route 50.
The spraying is scheduled to occur 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 designated area will be temporarily suspended during this time.
To combat adult mosquitoes, personnel from the department's Mosquito Control Program 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 without posing unreasonable risks to human health. However, as a precautionary measure, MDA advises residents to avoid outdoor activities during spraying.

While not all mosquitoes carry diseases, it is recommended that residents take necessary 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 (between dusk and dawn), installing and regularly inspecting window and door screens at home and stables, cleaning bird baths and pet food/water bowls regularly, and removing or emptying any water-holding containers.
In order to stay updated on any unscheduled spray events or other important information regarding mosquito control in Maryland, all residents are encouraged to follow the department's Facebook page @MdAgDept. Additionally, routine spray program schedules for each county can be found on the program's website.
For further information or inquiries about this spraying event, please contact the department's Mosquito Control Program at 410-841-5870.
