County to Conduct Aerial Spraying for Mosquitoes Monday Evening
The Palm Beach County Division of Mosquito Control will be conducting aerial spraying Monday evening, August 11, beginning at sundown, weather permitting. This is in response to increased mosquito populations from recent precipitation throughout the county. Should unstable weather conditions prevent spraying Monday, it will take place on the next available night conditions allow.
The coverage area of approximately 270,000 acres will target populated areas west of Military Trail. The aircraft used is a Huey helicopter.
Aerial spraying is necessary to control the mosquito population that has increased during the recent heavy rains. To further help control mosquitoes, residents are asked to drain or minimize standing water on their properties.
If you are going to be outdoors after dark, use an insect repellent containing DEET and wear long pants and a long-sleeve shirt. The Aerial Spray Hotline is 561-642-8775.
