Aerial Mosquito Spraying Slated for Sunday Evening
Palm Beach Gardens, FL · October 10, 2026
Early drizzle is keeping the pavement slick around the municipal complex this morning, but it should not deter anyone heading out for Saturday coffee or junior clinics on the greens. Just tuck a pocket umbrella into your bag before walking out the door.
The Lead
The Palm Beach County Division of Mosquito Control will conduct aerial spraying across approximately 265,000 acres Sunday evening to curb rising insect populations following late-summer rainstorms. Specially equipped twin-engine aircraft plan to take flight roughly thirty minutes after sunset, targeting heavily vegetated neighborhoods west of Military Trail, including large swaths of the Gardens, Jupiter, and Wellington.
While the county uses an ultra-low-volume mist targeting adult mosquitoes that poses minimal hazard to pets or people, county officials recommend that beekeepers cover hives and sensitive individuals stay indoors during operations. Pilots will assess wind gusts and cloud ceilings tomorrow afternoon before giving final clearance for wheels-up.
