Mosquito Control

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.

For additional information, call the Public Works Director at (302) 539-1339 or view the Mosquito Control Information.
 

Additional Spraying


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.
