Scheduled Spraying

During mosquito season, from late spring through early fall, the Town of Bethany Beach applies both larvicide and adulticide products as needed to help control mosquitoes.

This generally occurs between 3:00 am and 7:00 am Friday mornings, weather permitting, throughout the Town's approximately 19 miles of streets and alleys.

Additional adulticide applications may be added, depending upon conditions.

Specific requests for spraying will be assessed and performed, depending upon the severity of the infestation.
