Process to Exclude Property from Pesticide Applications:

State Regulation 333 CMR:13:04 provides a method for homeowners to exclude their property from public area-wide pesticide applications.  The regulation requires that residents send a certified letter to the Town Clerk by April 1^st of each year.  The certified letter should specify: your name, address, telephone number, the names of all abutters, and the spray program for which the exclusion is requested.  In addition, the boundaries of the property must be marked every 50' by tin pie plates or other appropriate means. Questions regarding the regulation can be answered by calling the Massachusetts Pesticide Bureau at (617)626-1781. To have a property excluded from spraying, please contact Norfolk County Mosquito Control Project at (781)762-3681.
