The Bristol County Mosquito Control Project (BCMCP) will begin accepting residential spray requests for adult mosquito control starting Monday, June 1, 2026.

Spraying is expected to begin on or after June 8, 2026, between the hours of 2:00 AM and sunrise. Please note: temperatures must remain above 55°F during those hours for spraying to occur, so weather-related delays are common in June.

To request spraying for your property:

📞 Call: (508) 823-5253 (8:00 AM–2:00 PM)
📠 Fax: (508) 828-1868
📧 Email: [email protected]

Please include:
• Last name
• Full address, including ZIP code

Important: Each request is valid for one application only. Additional spray requests throughout the season must be submitted separately.
