Adult Mosquito Control

Adult Mosquito Control is accomplished by using an Ultra Low Volume (ULV), aerosol sprayer, also known as fogging.  These truck mounted units apply pesticides in the air in the late evenings and mornings to eliminate adult mosquitoes in the area.

ULV treatments are also conducted by air using a low flying airplane.  This is used after severe weather has produced infestation numbers of mosquitoes and in rural areas where treatment by air is more cost effective than truck fogging. Seminole County Mosquito Control currently utilizes contractors to conduct aerial mosquito control operations.

Adult control in city limits is currently being conducted by the City Mosquito Control after the County Mosquito Control has inspected the area. The County currently has two truck mounted ULV foggers and several hand portable foggers to conduct adult mosquito control operations in the un-incorporated County.
