Mosquito-borne Illness Alert

Orange County Mosquito Control will conduct aerial spraying over parts of Apopka and Pine Hills to prevent further spread of Dengue Fever in Orange County. The Florida Department of Health issued a Mosquito-borne Illness Alert on September 18, 2026, after confirming three locally acquired cases of Dengue Fever. On October 12, FDOH confirmed two additional locally acquired cases in the Apopka area, bringing the total number of cases in Orange County to five. The aerial spraying is scheduled to begin around 7 p.m. on Friday, October 16, 2026, weather permitting. Due to the potential for storms in the area that evening, the plans could be partially or completely pushed to Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 7 p.m.

We are providing updates on the Orange County social media accounts, our Arbovirus Monitoring webpage, and through our OC Alert system.

Mosquito Control crews are conducting targeted control measures and enhanced surveillance in the affected areas and across the county to reduce the risk of further local transmission in Orange County.

Orange County is also under a Mosquito-borne Illness Advisory for West Nile Virus. Officials are reminding residents to take precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites and help prevent the spread of both viruses in the community.

Mission Statement

Orange County Mosquito Control is committed to protecting and improving the quality of life of the citizens and visitors of Orange County by maintaining, through innovative means, an effective and efficient mosquito control program that is both environmentally sound and scientifically tested.

Vision

To provide the highest, most efficient level of mosquito control through collaborative means by a team of individuals that not only share the same vision, but also feel appreciated and enjoy the work we do.

Mosquito Control Public Health and Safety

In addition to minimizing the presence of unwanted pests, Mosquito Control plays a key role in helping to ensure public and community safety. Orange County Mosquito Control has a working laboratory where researchers examine mosquitoes and larva found within the community. This information helps Orange County identify target areas for treatment and migration trends. Their efforts range from removing standing water, which serves as a breeding area, to providing research and information to partner agencies, along with spraying communities to rid them of mosquitoes. Mosquito Control works in partnership with the Florida Department of Health (DOH), which is the lead agency monitoring for the presence of infectious disease in Florida. DOH provides critical information to key partners throughout the state regarding the status or spread of infectious disease.
