BROWARD COUNTY, FL - In response to a high number of service requests and surveillance data, Public Works' Mosquito Control Section will conduct aerial spraying for adult mosquitoes over portions of Davie, Southwest Ranches, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, and Weston (see map). The mission will occur over two nights between Sunday, August 31, and Wednesday, September 3, 2025, barring unforeseen conditions or weather delays. Spraying will take place between 2 - 6 a.m.
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 people and animals.
Residents with breathing difficulties should remain indoors. Anyone living in the area who has registered with the state to be alerted before spraying will be notified.
The Broward Mosquito Control Section treats areas of the County by backpack, truck, and plane based on surveillance efforts and service requests. Members of the public are encouraged to eliminate areas where mosquitoes breed by dumping standing water around their homes. To request mosquito control service, call 311 or fill out the Mosquito Service Request Form .
