The Mosquito Control program begins the week of April 7, 2025 in the Town of Hampton Falls. Crews from Dragon Mosquito Control, Inc. will be checking swamps, salt marshes, woodland pools, ditches, catch basins, storm drains and other shallow, stagnant water for mosquito larvae. When mosquito larvae are found, treatment may occur using one or more of the following insecticides:
- VectoBac (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis 2.8%)
- VectoBac 12 AS (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis 11.61%)
- VectoPrime FG (Bacillus thuringiensis 6.07%, methoprene 0.10%)
- Natular (spinosad 2.5%)
- Altosid (methoprene 5%)
- BVA 2 Mosquito Larvicide Oil (mineral oil 97.0%)
- SunSpray MLO (mineral oil 98.8%)
Currently, there is no plan to conduct emergency spraying for disease carrying mosquitoes. The determination to spray adult mosquitoes at town owned property is made by town officials in consultation with Dragon. Recommendations are based on mosquito surveillance data, disease test results, weather conditions and other variable. Further public notification will be provided if emergency spraying is going to take place at the Town Common or Governor Weare Park.
