Why can’t Mosquito Control spray during the day?
The main reason we do not spray during the day is that the spray would be lifted away from the ground very quickly by the rising air currents that occur during hot Florida days. At dusk and at night, the insecticide stays near the ground, where the mosquitoes are. The second reason is that most mosquitoes are active between dusk and dawn. Daytime spraying is also not practiced to avoid killing beneficial insects, such as bees; to reduce people’s and wildlife’s exposure to the pesticide; and to eliminate the potential traffic hazard of a slow-moving vehicle during high traffic volume times.
