Abstract: The Lee County Mosquito Control District (LCMCD) has designed and implemented a custom larviciding spray hood system to enhance precision, safety, and efficiency in mosquito control operations. This innovative system features a fully closed pesticide delivery mechanism, which includes an internal bubble agitator and ultrasonic technology to accurately measure chemical volume within the system. Water and larvicide can be directed through either a 300-foot hose reel or a custom-engineered hood side sprayer with an integrated camera for precision applications. The LCMCD custom spray hood system is operated from inside the cab demonstrating how innovative engineering and field-focused design can improve operational efficiency, application accuracy, and overall effectiveness of mosquito control programs. This presentation will provide attendees with insights into the design, functionality, and operational benefits of this state-of-the-art larviciding solution.
