Sarasota County Mosquito Management Services is currently treating woodlots, coast and other flooded areas for mosquitoes. Staff are treating for larval mosquitoes in bodies of stagnant water to prevent large amounts of mosquitoes from hatching and are monitoring for adult mosquitoes to see if adult treatment will be necessary, weather permitting. Mosquito management needs the public’s help to reduce household mosquito problems by dumping and covering anything holding water in their yard, such as buckets, tarps, toys, plant saucers, etc. This will allow our staff to focus more time on larger areas and neighborhood problems.

Mosquito Management Services urges community members to cover up with long, loose-fitting and light-colored clothing to reduce bites. If community members do experience a mosquito problem, they can submit service requests by visiting scgov.net/mosquito or calling 311.
