The county is partnering with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and nightly aerial mosquito control starts on Oct. 27.
Aerial mosquito control treatments are being conducted to manage the increased mosquito population following Hurricane Milton.
The spraying operations will be scheduled between sunset and sunrise when mosquitoes are most active.
The county said the materials used in these operations will be industry-standard products widely applied across the United States to control mosquito populations.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, when used according to label instructions, larvicides and adulticides do not pose risks to people, pets, or the environment.
