In an effort to control sand flea and mosquito populations, and depending on weather conditions, MCRD Parris Island is scheduled to undergo aerial spray activities on the evening of 20 June, 2018. If weather permits, spray activities will occur approximately one hour before sunset on 20 June, 2018.

The insecticides used present no threat to humans, plants or animals in the area and are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency; however, beekeepers within a five-mile radius are urged to keep hives covered.
