MOSQUITO SPRAYING SCHEDULE
August 30 - September 3, 2010
Horry County will begin mosquito spraying, weather permitting, in the following areas:
  • Gunters Island
  • Dog Bluff Aerial spraying will be conducted in the evenings usually between 7 p.m. - dusk and ground operations from 7 p.m. - 11 p.m. Monday - Thursday.

    The chemicals used for mosquito control spraying are approved by the EPA and pose minimal risk to humans or animals. Individuals with asthma or other respiratory illness may wish to stay indoors and close windows and doors during spraying. In addition, homegrown fruits and vegetables should be washed, scrubbed, and/or peeled before eating.

    To help keep our honeybee population safe, beekeepers are urged to contact Horry County Mosquito & Spraying to identify the location of their colonies. In addition, citizens with concerns, complaints, or those requesting spraying in their area can also contact Horry County Mosquito & Spraying at 915-5174.

  • Horry County and its surrounding areas will receive more than $900 million worth of road construction by 2004. For detailed project information, visit the South Carolina Department of Transportation.

    Several of the projects are already underway, while many more will begin in the next few months. Overlapping construction schedules may cause some congestion, but the end result will be new roads and a much-improved transportation network.
