Mosquito Fogging Operations In Cantonment Tonight (With Area Maps)

July 18, 2017

In an effort to reduce the mosquito population in Escambia County, the Mosquito Control Division has filed a Notice of Intent to proceed with fogging missions in parts the Cantonment area.

The first area to be sprayed is bounded by Muscogee Road to the south, Highway 29 to the east,  Quinette Road to the north and the Alabama line to the west (see map above). The second area is south of Muscogee Road, east to Highway 29, south of Kingsfield and I-10 and west to the state line (see map below).

When possible, pre-application surveillance is performed with post-application surveillance to follow. Methods used to determine necessary fogging mission activity include dry ice-baited light traps, landing rate counts and focally located service requests received from the public.

Mission hours vary but typically occur in the evening hours from 6-9:30 p.m.
