Managing Mosquitoes Across the Wetland Spectrum: Freshwater to Coastal Systems Symposium I

90 - Managing the unmanageable: LCMCD’s efforts to control mosquitoes during an unprecedented season.

Wednesday, March 25, 2026
8:50 AM - 9:10 AM PDT
Location: B110
Abstract: The 2025 mosquito season was one of the most challenging seasons Lee County Mosquito Control District has faced in years. Extreme drought followed by early season hatch offs led to an explosion of Aedes taeniorhynchus throughout the county’s coastal regions. Meanwhile, once summer rainfall began inland, Culex mosquitoes quickly began to dominate the area in abnormal abundance. Even with heavy larvicide efforts, and an increased number of adulticide treatments, mosquito populations remained challenging throughout the year.
