Campus Green is enrolled in the Maryland Department of Agriculture Mosquito Surveillance and Control Program, which will be conducted between May 29th - October 1st 2024. Our community is scheduled for fogging on Mondays, between 7 pm and 2:30 am, but treatments will be limited to disease case response and exceptionally high population density of adults, to be determined on a case by case basis. Monitoring the adult mosquito population before treatment is required, and treatment will only be carried out if an MDA employee has determined the need for it. Minimum thresholds which must be met for treatment to occur are as follows (any one of these is sufficient):
- Landing rate count of 3 mosquitoes attempting to bite in 2 minutes, OR
- 12 female mosquitoes collected overnight in an un-baited light trap, OR
- 24 female mosquitoes collected overnight in a baited light trap, OR
- Conditions that threaten public health, such as mosquito borne disease
Information on the products used is available here, and Standard Operating Procedures for the 2024 MDA Mosquito Control Program are available here. Further information on the Mosquito Control Program is available here.
