Maryland: PUBLIC NOTICE: Unscheduled Mosquito Control Activity to Occur in Baltimore County and Cecil County on September 27

ANNAPOLIS, MD (September 25, 2026) ~ Annapolis, MD - The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) has announced plans to expand mosquito control services in certain areas due to concerns over potential mosquito-borne diseases. This decision comes in cooperation with the Baltimore County Health Department and the Cecil County Health Department.

On Sunday, September 27, 2026, MDA will conduct Ultra-Low Volume truck-based spraying in two locations: Chesapeake City and Nottingham. The spraying will take place after 7:30 p.m. ET and will cover a radius from Court House Point Road to Route 310 to Town Point Road to Short Cut Road in Chesapeake City, and from Hartford Road to Oak White Road to Magledt Road and back to Harford Road in Nottingham. In case of inclement weather, the spraying will be rescheduled for Monday, September 28, 2026. Any existing spray exemptions in these areas will be temporarily suspended.

The MDA Mosquito Control Program will use a permethrin-based solution that has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use in public health mosquito control programs without posing unreasonable risks to human health. However, as a precautionary measure, MDA recommends avoiding outdoor activities during the spraying.

While not all mosquitoes carry diseases, MDA advises residents to take precautions to minimize their exposure to mosquito bites. These measures include wearing long, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing; using insect repellents according to product labels; avoiding mosquito-infested areas during peak activity times (between dusk and dawn); installing and regularly inspecting window and door screens; cleaning bird baths and pet food/water bowls regularly; and removing or emptying any water-holding containers.

Residents can find routine spray program schedules by county on the program's website. For any questions or concerns, please contact MDA's Mosquito Control Program at (410) 841-5870.

This expansion of mosquito control services is a proactive step taken by MDA to protect public health and prevent the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. By working together with local health departments and following recommended precautions, residents can help reduce the risk of mosquito bites and potential illnesses.
