June Aerial Spray to Control Sand Fleas and Mosquitoes
22 Jun 2026

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 June 25, 2026. If weather permits, spray activities will occur approximately an hour after sundown on June 25, 2026. 
        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.
