Mosquito Spraying Begins - April 24, 2023
Horry County Stormwater will begin conducting ground spraying (from trucks) on Monday, April 24, 2023. Weather permitting, the spraying will be conducted Monday through Thursday in the evening throughout various parts of the County.
The chemicals used for mosquito control spraying are approved by the EPA and pose minimal risk to humans or animals. Individuals with asthma or other respiratory illness may wish to stay indoors and close windows and doors during spraying. In addition, homegrown fruits and vegetables should be washed, scrubbed, and/or peeled before eating.
To help keep our local honeybee population safe, beekeepers are urged to contact Horry County Stormwater to identify the location of their colonies. You can submit the location of your hive(s) online here: https://www.horrycountysc.gov/departments/stormwater/no-spray-request/?fbclid=IwAR0SgB-rKsu8KGuQrHeiNz6Jkg4Rtpq9qLN7ht5PwzG3O_x-iu1wO8vptVw
In addition, citizens who need to request spraying in the unincorporated areas of Horry County (outside city limits) can contact the Horry County Road & Drainage Hotline at 843-381-8000 or via the online form found here: https://www.horrycountysc.gov/departments/stormwater/service-request/?fbclid=IwAR1miTZZ695Zura68n6Whw1MDYS8VFZc3MGTZ358o3Zw9dnjAONogMjDGnU
