Flagler County has been working with the East Flagler Mosquito Control District to expand the coverage area for mosquito control services for over a year. The final recommendation will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners at its Nov. 21 meeting for consideration and potential approval.

Additional mosquito control services, if approved, will begin in some southern and western areas of Flagler County including:

  • South— the area east of U.S. 1 from north of Korona, as well as south and east to the Volusia County line, an area that includes the Flagler County portions of Plantation Reserve, Plantation Bay, Fleetwood Terrace, Eagle Rock Ranch, and Ormond Manor.
  • West—U.S. 1 to (and inclusive of) the Florida East Coast Railway from County Road 13 north to the St. Johns County line, an area that includes the Palm Lakes Entertainment & Industrial Park area, Atlantis industrial/commercial area, Otis Stone Hunter Road industrial/commercial area, Town & Country Business Park, Reverie, Somerset, Palm Coast Park, Sawmill Creek subdivision, and Dixie Highway Park.

The new areas, as show on the included map, will be taxed by the district at the same rate as those currently within the district’s boundaries to provide the mosquito control services. The district’s services to the new areas will begin on Oct. 1, 2023.

The services include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Mosquito surveillance and source reduction
  • Controlling immature and biting mosquitoes
  • Education programs in schools

Details as to the varying mosquito control services countywide can be found on the county’s website at www.FlaglerCounty.gov/Mosquito.

Additional information about the operations of the district is available at www.FlaglerMosquito.com.
