Mosquito Info: Safety, Spraying, and Services 


A reminder, we are approaching the season where we see elevated populations of mosquitos.  Last year, Amesbury had one positive EEE mosquito.

Should 2025 bring another positive EEE sample, the Board of Health may deem it necessary to conduct a targeted spray in the area to reduce the risk to public health.

Residents can request an exclusion from wide area pesticide applications by filling out a request. Exclusion requests take 14 days to go into effect from the time it is made and expire on December 31st in that calendar year.

Spraying notifications will be posted on the city website, on Facebook, and will be sent out on Smart 911. Be sure to sign up for Smart 911 to receive advance notification.  

The City of Amesbury is a member of the Northeast Massachusetts Mosquito Control (NEMMC) District. In addition, as part of the membership with the NEMMC, Amesbury property owners can request preventative services including tire removal, checking for mosquito larvae, and spraying for adult mosquitos. 

To learn more about safety tips, how to request an exclusion from wide area spraying, or how to request services, visit the page on mosquitos.
