Property Exclusion form for NO Property Mosquito Spraying
In years past, somewhere around March I think, we got an opt-out form from the Clerks office. It appears that will not happen and if your concerned about your property being sprayed and want to opt-out go to:
They are starting this week so do it soon if you want to save the bees and limit your exposure to the chemical.

Why no outreach from the city this year on opting out?
from the web site
In 2017, the Massachusetts Pesticide Board approved new regulations governing the pesticide exclusion process. The new regulations eliminated the March 1st deadline and removed city and town clerks as the filing destination for the exclusion forms. The new regulations specify that residents can file for exclusion at any time during the year and the exclusion will become effective 14 days from the receipt of the request. Exclusion requests can be made to the Massachusetts Dept. of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) either by first class mail or by filing electronically on the MDAR website.
Information and registration forms for the new pesticide exclusion process, can be accessed online at
