SPRAYING SET FOR WEDNESDAY OVER SOUTH PALM BEACH COUNTY.
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Palm Beach County will spray for mosquitos — from the air — on Wednesday in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and nearby areas. PBC shared this advisory with BocaNewsNow.com Tuesday afternoon:
>> The Palm Beach County Division of Mosquito Control will conduct aerial spraying beginning half an hour after sunset on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, weather permitting.
Aerial spraying is a response to increased mosquito levels and the potential for vector-borne disease threats. The planned coverage area includes approximately 265,000 acres covering populated areas west of Military Trail. This area includes the Jupiter region, the Acreage/Loxahatchee/Royal Palm Beach region, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington, unincorporated Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton and the Glades communities of Pahokee, Belle Glade, South Bay and Lake Harbor.
Should weather cause a cancellation, the county will continue to attempt to spray by aircraft each evening until a successful spray operation is completed. To find out if aerial spraying was completed, please call the AERIAL SPRAY HOTLINE at 561-642-8775 to hear the most up-to-date information about the operation.
If you are going be outdoors after dark, use an EPA-registered insect repellent and wear long pants and a long-sleeve shirt. To further help control mosquitoes, residents are asked to drain or minimize standing water on their properties.

What should we do about personal pools (with filters)? How does the aerial mosquito spray affect pool water quality and people and dogs swimming in it, possibly inadvertently drinking some of the pool water?
