Mosquito control treatment by truck set for tonight
The City of Sanibel has received notice from the Lee County Mosquito Control District (LCMCD) that they will be conducting a treatment by truck tonight, weather permitting, between sunset and 2 a.m.
The Lee County Mosquito Control District (LCMCD) provides mosquito control for Sanibel and the majority 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 marshes, Sanibel is a prime breeding ground for mosquitoes.
If you are experiencing a high number of mosquitoes at your residence, you can make a service request by clicking on https://leecountymcdfl.gov/mosquitoes-report-instructions/ or by contacting LCMCD directly at (239) 694-2174. LCMCD crews regularly respond to requests for service and determine the need for mosquito treatments.
