MOSQUITO SPRAYING SCHEDULE
For 5/12-5/16
Horry County will begin mosquito spraying, weather permitting, in the following areas:
  • Bucksport
  • Allsbrook
  • Juniper Bay
  • Little River/Brooksville

    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.

    Although the chemical used for spraying, Malathion, is common and poses little risk to humans or animals, officials recommend that residents bring children and pets indoors and windows and doors be closed 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.
