BROWARD COUNTY, FL - In response to a high number of service requests and recent surveillance data, the Mosquito Control Section of the County's Public Works and Environmental Services Department will conduct aerial spraying for adult mosquitoes over portions of Davie, Southwest Ranches, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, and Weston (see attached map). The mission is scheduled to occur at night between Saturday, June 6 and Tuesday, June 9, 2026, barring unforeseen conditions or weather delays. Spraying will take place between midnight and 6 AM.

The aerial adulticide spraying will target nuisance mosquitoes associated with the migration of saltmarsh mosquitoes from the Everglades. These mosquitoes are strong fliers and aggressive biters, often traveling many miles from their breeding sites. They are not known to transmit diseases such as Zika or Dengue but are a significant nuisance for residents.

Residents with breathing difficulties should remain indoors during spraying. People living in the area who are registered with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services as chemically sensitive will be notified prior to the operation. 

The Broward Mosquito Control Section treats areas of the County by backpack, truck, and plane based on surveillance data and service requests. Members of the public are asked to help reduce mosquito breeding by eliminating standing water around their homes.
