For your convenience, we have provided a summary of the spraying schedule when our contractor is onsite spraying for adult mosquitoes, as well as other useful information regarding the mosquito control program.
Questions Regarding the Current Spraying Program
The Celebration CDD has not changed any practices as to mosquito spraying. All the spraying is done based on the trap counts. The machines are flowing about the same level per acre that they always have. The start times are roughly the same as they always have been. What has happened recently is that we went from border-line drought conditions and low trap numbers to record rainfall within a matter of days. This has caused large hatchings in our area and numerous other areas around the State. Since then Clarke has responded by spraying all routes numerous times. They have detected a reduction in the trap counts which is indicating that we are getting better control of the situation. We should have things back to normal soon.

Mosquito Control Program
Several residents have expressed a concern about the effect of long-term exposure to the insecticide used within Celebration. Our mosquito control program is in full compliance with EPA and State of Florida guidelines. However, if any resident has a similar concern, the spraying schedule is posted on the website for your convenience (see below). You can reduce your risk of inhalation of the mosquito spray by remaining inside during the time they are scheduled to be in your neighborhood. In addition, if any resident desires that we not spray in the immediate vicinity of your house, please provide your request to the District office, and our contractor will put your address on a “no spray” list.
Green Practices
In an effort to implement more “green” technologies, the contractor has started using electric sprayers to reduce the noise level. These are much quieter than the previous sprayers, so much so that residents should not even hear them going by. These electric sprayers will soon be coupled with an electric vehicle in continued efforts to lessen their carbon footprint within the community.
Spraying Schedule
Below is a schedule of estimated times when we will be spraying in your neighborhood. The contractor is onsite daily, depending on the trap counts and weather permitting. (“Trap counts” refer to the number and type of mosquitoes caught on various traps throughout the community. If the number and type are sufficient enough to warrant spraying for adult mosquitoes, the contractor will be out the following scheduled day to spray, weather permitting.)
This schedule has been updated to reflect Daylight Savings Time.
