Mosquito Control will start spraying along Hutchinson Island
St. Lucie County’s Mosquito Control District will use a small airplane to drop larviciding granules over mosquito impoundments on South Hutchinson Island’s mangrove marshes today, weather permitting. This mission is in conjunction with the annual flooding of more than 4,400 acres of mosquito impoundments along Hutchinson Island and the western coast of the Indian River near the Indian River County line. The Mosquito Control District began pumping up the impoundments last week and will maintain the higher water levels until August and September.
