June Aerial Spray To Control Sand Fleas and Mosquitoes
17 Jun 2025

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 sometime on June 24-25, 2025. If weather permits, spray activities will occur approximately an hour after sundown on June 24. If there is destructive weather on June 24, spray activities will occur approximately an hour after sunset on June 25.

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.
