Mosquito Control in Palm Beach County, FL
Palm Beach County's mosquito season runs May through October, with peak pressure during and after the summer rainy season. The county is home to over 40 mosquito species, including Aedes aegypti — the primary vector for dengue fever, Zika virus, and chikungunya, all of which have been locally transmitted in South Florida in recent years. Palm Beach County Mosquito Control manages large bodies of water, but residential properties are not covered by public programs.
Standing water in pot saucers, clogged gutters, and neglected outdoor containers breeds new mosquitoes within 7–10 days. Effective residential mosquito management combines source reduction (eliminating breeding sites) with barrier spray treatments to vegetation where adult mosquitoes rest during the day. Larviciding of ornamental water features provides additional control without eliminating water features homeowners want to keep.

Mosquito Control in Palm Beach County — FAQ
How long does professional mosquito barrier spray last in Palm Beach County?
A professional barrier spray to vegetation, bushes, and landscape surfaces typically remains effective for 3–4 weeks under normal conditions. Heavy rain can reduce effectiveness faster. We recommend monthly treatments during Palm Beach County's rainy season (May–October) for consistent outdoor protection. Year-round service is available for properties with persistent breeding habitat nearby.
Can Aedes aegypti mosquitoes transmit dengue fever in Palm Beach County?
Yes. Dengue fever, Zika virus, and chikungunya have all seen local transmission in South Florida in recent years. Aedes aegypti is the primary vector for all three viruses and is common in Palm Beach County year-round. Unlike most mosquitoes that bite at dawn and dusk, Aedes aegypti bites during daytime hours. Eliminating standing water and professional barrier treatments reduce your exposure risk.
What standing water sources breed mosquitoes on Palm Beach County properties?
Even very small amounts of standing water breed mosquitoes within 7–10 days. Common sources on Palm Beach County properties include: pot and plant saucer water, clogged gutters, bird baths, pool covers with accumulated water, neglected ornamental water features, buckets and tarps, and low spots in the yard that hold water after rain. Source reduction — finding and eliminating these breeding sites — is the foundation of effective mosquito management.
