City of Sanibel Notified by Lee County Mosquito Control of Aerial Spray Activity Tonight
The Lee County Mosquito Control District (LCMCD) provides mosquito control for Sanibel and all of Lee County. Please read this article for more information.
The LCMCD will deploy the 407 Helicopter this evening from 9:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. spraying all of Sanibel excluding the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge.
"Mosquito Season" typically runs from May through October and mosquito activity increases with rain, particularly after heavy rains that produce large areas of standing water. Due to the abundance of mangroves, wetlands and salt marches, Sanibel is a prime breeding ground for mosquitoes.
