SUMMARY:Aerial Adulticide November COMPLETED 1st to 6th
DESCRIPTION:Public Notice\nAerial Spraying in St. Johns County Scheduled \nTo Reduce Mosquito Abundance\n Anastasia Mosquito Control District of St. Johns County has scheduled an aerial spray operation this week for over roughly 200,000 acres within the District’s border to help reduce the number of mosquitoes resulting from flooding post-Hurricane Milton. The aerial application will take place between November 1st to November 6th depending on weather. Aerial adult mosquito control operations will be performed by Vector Disease Control International. This company holds contingency contracts with multiple Florida Counties and FEMA to provide application of adulticides on an “as-needed” basis.\nThe aerial spray operation is being conducted in response to surveillance findings that indicate increased mosquito populations and increase in West Nile virus activity. Aerial spraying is necessary to combat and control mosquitoes where ground spraying is less accessible and effective. If there is a weather delay, applications will begin the following night.\nVDCI will be using twin-engine aircraft flying at an altitude of approximately 300 feet to conduct the aerial application for adult mosquitoes. These applications will occur between dusk and dawn. VDCI uses EPA registered pesticides for use in public health response.\nFor additional information and/or maps of the intended spray area please visit the Anastasia Mosquito Control District’s website at www.amcdsjc.org \n\n
