An aerial mosquito abatement program will take place July 10 through 12 in various areas across Southern Miami-Dade County. County public health personnel have determined areas on Homestead Air Reserve Base and surrounding communities where mosquito numbers have reached nuisance levels. Specially equipped C-130H cargo planes from the Air Force Reserve Command's 910th Airlift Wing, Youngstown, Ohio, will commence a routine aerial spraying operation using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency registered pesticide Dibrom (also known as Naled).
