In an effort to control sand flea and mosquito populations and depending on weather conditions, MCRD Parris Island is scheduled to undergo nighttime aerial spray activities on either 19, 20 or 22 August 2024. Weather permitting, spray activities will occur approximately an hour after sundown on one of those three days.

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.

Should you have any questions, please contact Ms. Tracey Gould with the Environmental Division at (843) 228-3423.
