The town of Pittsford, Vermont voted at town meeting on March 6, 2018 to become a full member of the BLSG Insect Control District. For the first time, spraying will be done along town roads in Pittsford to kill adult mosquitoes. The measure passed by a vote of 35 to 24.
Pittsford joined the BLSG district in 2016 and has participated in the application of larvicide to lowland areas to kill mosquito larvae. Before then, Pittsford contracted with the BLSG for larvicide application.
According to an article in the Rutland Herald, Pittsford will be paying more than $40,000 in each of the next four years to cover the treatments and contribute to the BLSG infrastructure.
