MOSQUITO CONTROL POLICY STATEMENT
OBJECTION TO ADULT MOSQUITO CONTROL
The policy of the Maryland Department of Agriculture regarding an objection to adult mosquito control by
truck-mounted ultra low volume (ULV) application of insecticides is as follows:
!An individual may have his/her owned or leased real property and a surrounding buffer up to 300 feet on all
sides of the property excluded from ground based ULV adult mosquito control.
!Each individual requesting this exclusion must submit the request in writing to the Maryland Department of
Agriculture and provide copies to the appropriate community association or city/town. The request must
provide the address of the property to be excluded and must be signed by the owner(s) or leasee(s). This
request will be acknowledged in writing by the Department.
! If the number of individual objectors and the location of excluded properties precludes an effective
mosquito control adulticide service in a community, the service in that community will be suspended. Service
may be reinstated upon the written request of the community and approval by the Department.
!A city/town or community association, or another resident directly affected by the exemption, may request
the Department to rescind or modify a spray exclusion zone if the local authority believes the exemption
unfairly impacts other residents who desire adult mosquito control service. Requests to rescind or modify
spray exclusion requests must be made in writing and delivered to the Secretary of Agriculture.
!The Department periodically will verify the continued occupancy/ownership by objectors of properties
excluded from ULV ground spraying to determine if the objection continues.
! In the event of mosquito-borne disease or conditions that threaten public health, the suspension of
mosquito adulticide service in an area due to objectors will be discontinued and the full range of mosquito
control procedures available will be utilized.
