Beginning at sunset Tuesday, Palm Beach County will conduct an aerial assault on mosquitoes.
The spraying is due to a large hatch of the insects from tropical rains, according to the county.
The county plans to cover 180,000 acres in the following communities:
- Wellington
- Royal Palm Beach
- Loxahatchee
- The Acreage
- Jupiter Farms
- Palm Beach Country Estates
- Caloosa
- Glades
If the spraying is canceled due to weather the county said it will continue to attempt to spray by helicopter every night until it is successful.
