(Montague, MA) — The town of Montague has decided to take a regional approach to dealing with problematic mosquitoes. Montague Annual Town Meeting voters have approved allowing the town to join the Pioneer Valley Mosquito Control District. The vote comes on the heels of a recent selectboard decision to opt out of a state program which allows for aerial spraying for mosquitoes in an effort to control illnesses like the West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
