Maryland Mosquito Spray Heads to Eastern Shore | Dover News

Mosquito season’s hitting the Eastern Shore hard — and Maryland’s taking flight to fight back. Starting Monday evening, a white twin-engine plane with red and blue stripes will buzz low over Dorchester and Somerset counties, spraying a targeted, ultra-low-dose insecticide called Trumpet (containing naled) to slash adult mosquito populations. No need to evacuate — pets, families, and livestock can stay put. Dorchester’s getting treatment on 14,949 acres including Andrews, Black Water, and Crapo, while Somerset targets 1,234 acres around Ewell, Rhodes Point, and Smith Island communities. Keep an eye out for that plane as it works to keep biting bugs at bay before they turn into a bigger problem. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
