ANNAPOLIS, MD (August 4, 2025) ~ 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. The Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) truck-based spraying is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, August 5, 2025 in Greenbelt within a ¾ mile radius of Northway Road.

According to the Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA), spraying will commence after 7:30 p.m. In case of inclement weather, the spraying will be rescheduled for the next available evening. Any existing spray exemptions in the area will be temporarily suspended.

The MDA 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 without posing unreasonable risks to human health. However, as a precautionary measure, MDA recommends avoiding outdoor activities during spraying.

While not all mosquitoes carry diseases, MDA advises residents to 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 periods of activity (between dusk and dawn), installing and regularly inspecting window and door screens in homes and stables, cleaning bird baths and pet food/water bowls regularly, and removing or emptying all water-holding containers.

To stay updated on any unscheduled spray events or other timely information about mosquito control in Maryland, residents are encouraged to follow MDA's Facebook page @MdAgDept. Routine spray program schedules are also available by county on the program's website.
