Mosquito Control on Sanibel Island provided by Lee County Mosquito Control District
The Lee County Mosquito Control District (LCMCD) provides mosquito control for Sanibel and all of Lee County. "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. The LCMCD deployed three fog trucks late Monday night to Sanibel Island to provide mosquito control. Additionally, LCMCD is developing a schedule for spraying on Sanibel prior to July 4th.
If you are experiencing a high number of mosquitoes at your residence, please contact the LCMCD directly at (239) 694-2174. If the LCMCD receives complaints from a specific area or neighborhood, the District dispatches personnel to conduct a mosquito count and if warranted, will fog or spray the area.
