PUBLIC NOTICE
In compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration, Public Notice is hereby given that Volusia County Mosquito Control will inspect for mosquitoes and spray (EPA approved pesticide application) for immature and adult mosquitoes within the boundaries of Volusia County and over congested areas in Volusia County.
Aircraft will fly at altitudes under 500 feet throughout the calendar years, June 2026 through June 2028, for the suppression of mosquito populations, when and where such flights are necessary. All such flights are considered necessary, in the interest of protecting public health, for the comfort of residents and visitors, and will be in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Mosquito populations (nuisance and disease vectors of importance) will be suppressed by rotor (helicopter) and fixed-wing (airplane) flights with Volusia County aircraft or through a qualified and approved contractor.
Inspection flights and landings will be made for the purpose of locating and treating (spraying) immature stages of mosquitoes in fresh water and salt marsh flood areas. These flights typically occur during daytime hours and can occur on a daily basis during peak mosquito production.
Spray flights for the suppression of adult mosquitoes, typically occur between sunset and sunrise and are posted on the Volusia County website prior to the flights. To access the postings, go to (www.volusia.org/mosquito) and select view online map of spray operations from the Volusia County Mosquito Control page.
