South Shore Mosquito Control Project


To the Citizens of the Town of Duxbury:


Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project's activities in the Town of Dux- bury for the year ending October 31, 1965.


The Town of Duxbury appropriated $5,300 for mos- quito control in 1965. Along with this $2,250 was appro- priated for salt marsh maintenance. This was used for mosquito control in the Town of Duxbury by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project, a cooperative effort un- der General Laws, Chapter 252, embracing the City of Quincy and the Towns of Braintree, Cohasset, Duxbury, Hingham, Hull, Marshfield, Norwell, Scituate and Wey- mouth, a total of 172.21 square miles, servicing a popula- tion of over 222,824.


The project operates year round, continuing to base its operations on a three-phase program; Permanent Control, the elimination of mosquito breeding sites by proper water management; Preventive Control, the elim- ination of mosquito larvae by spraying or dusting breed- ing sites; Adult Control, the elimination of the flying mosquitoes by space spraying or fogging.


With this as the basic plan the following was accom- plished in the Town of Duxbury this year.


Permanent Control


10,400 feet of drainage were reclaimed, 3,525 feet of existing drainage ditch were cleared of their blockages, all this to reduce water from becoming stagnant enough to produce mosquitoes. 1,725 feet of brushing was nec- essary to allow access to ditch or spray.


Preventive Control


75 acres of small isolated woodland swamp were prehatch treated with dust upon ice in winter months


-168-


to prevent the development of the mosquito eggs. 1,030 acres of larger swamp areas were larval treated in the spring of the year by air from a fixed wing aircraft to control mosquitoes of the early season.


During the summer season many wet areas had to be checked for their larval and pupal content. Areas like the salt marsh had to be rechecked as much as three and four times. Wherever mosquito larvae and pupae were found the conditions were remedied by spraying or removing the water container. 290 gallons of insecti- cide were applied for this larval/pupal control.


Catchbasins, a source of a great number of mosquito larvae, may have to be treated as often as three times a season, depending on wet or dry season. It was neces- sary to treat 175 basins in the Town of Duxbury this year.


Adult Control


Spray for the adult mosquitoes becomes necessary where complaints of large numbers of mosquitoes move into an area, usually migrating from uncontrolled areas outside of the project's boundaries or from created condi- tions around the homes where any type of containers capable of holding water will breed the culex or house mosquitoes. The project received 1027 calls last sea- son. Action in some form was taken on all.


In the Town of Duxbury 1148 gallons of insecticide were space sprayed for adult mosquitoes with hydraulic sprayer and mist blower.


When weather and other conditions were favorable an insecticidal thermal fogger was used. 17 gallons of insecticide and oil in a fog were applied at the rate of 41/2 gallons to the acre in the Town of Duxbury.


-169-


Insecticides


The insecticides used by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project are:


DDT dust


DDT emulsions Malathion emulsion


Malathion miscible in oil, fog DiBrom 14 in oil, fog Baytex emulsions, catchbasins No. 2 oil


All insecticides are registered and are labelled for use in mosquito control. They are formulated and ap- plied in accord with and at no greater amounts than their labels recommended to be proper for mosquito control operations.


The project wishes to acknowledge the help received from officials and departments of the towns and city and sincerely hopes that benefits derived by these de- partments as a result of this cooperation are as great as those derived by the project.

GREENHEAD FLY CONTROL


To the Citizens of the Town of Duxbury:


Submitted herewith is the report of the Greenhead Fly (Tabanus Nigrovittatus) Control program conducted on the salt marsh in the Town of Duxbury in the summer season of 1965 under the direction of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project.


The first noticeable amount of Greenhead Flies be- gan to emerge about the last week of the month of June, a little earlier than usual, and continued, variously from one marsh to another, reaching a peak annoyance the third week of July. It then tapered off with another small emergence period the first week of August.


In the Town of Duxbury aerial application of insec- ticide was begun on June 24 and continued at various times until August 18. The applications were made to the upper edge of marsh and resting areas bordering the marsh.


2095 gallons were applied to 2095 acres, the cost of which was $985.25 for insecticide, $848.95 for air service, totaling $1844.20 expended on the Greenhead Fly pro- gram for the year 1965 in the Town of Duxbury.


To get away from the use of DDT upon the marshes the use of two types of organic phosphate were used, Baytex and Malathion in various formulations. Mala- thion, the safer of the two, proved also the better of the two.


Until a better method can be developed, such as a safe granular type material that can be used in a larval control, the project shall continue to use Malathion on and around the marshlands.


Respectfully submitted,


SIMON J. VENEAU

Report of the Town Accountant December 31, 1965


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 41, Section 61, I submit herewith the annual statement of all receipts and expenditures of the Town of Duxbury for the financial year ending December 31, 1965.


Ever increasing accuracy in the books maintained by individual departments is greatly appreciated. This year, for example, the Welfare Departmental records of receipts and disbursements were exact to the penny, and this obviated any time lost checking out discrepan- cies in town funds and especially in the handling of Federal Grants. My sincere thanks to Miss Katherine Deans, and her assistants.


Property accountability is still honored in the breach rather than by performance. Greater cooperation in this field would be much appreciated. The Cemetery Depart- ment has maintained proper inventories for many years. Other departments should make an attempt to follow this good example.


Respectfully submitted,
