Mosquito Aerial Spray Operation Tonight

Body

Palm Beach County Division of Mosquito Control will be conducting aerial spraying

beginning at sunset tonight, weather permitting

 

The planned coverage area will be approximately 280,000 acres of populated areas

west of Military Trail and the Glades Communities.

 

Aerial spraying is in response to a large hatch out of mosquitoes from recent heavy rains and  early indications of West Nile Virus in sentinel chickens. 

 

There are NO human or equestrian cases and the action is NOT in response to any such mosquito-borne disease cases.

 

********************************************** 

 

 

Should weather cause a cancellation, the county will continue to attempt to spray by helicopter every night until a successful spray operation is completed. 

 

 

To confirm when the spray operation is complete, please call the 

AIR SPRAY HOTLINE at 561-642-8775. 

 

 

To further help control mosquitoes, residents are asked to

drain or minimize standing water on their properties. 

 

If you are going be outdoors after dark,

use an insect repellent containing DEET and wear long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
