Manatee County Mosquito Control Plans Helicopter Spraying Tonight
Manatee County residents are advised that a targeted mosquito control spraying will occur this evening, Monday, December 16, between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. Two helicopters will be deployed to treat a 10,000-acre urban area south of the Manatee River. This measure, conducted by Manatee County Mosquito Control, is part of ongoing efforts to manage daytime-active mosquito populations.
The operation is scheduled close to sunset to maximize effectiveness against these specific mosquitoes. The spray used has been approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and is considered safe for human health, wildlife, and the environment.
