Mosquito spraying is used to curb biting adult mosquito populations. Flights are usually conducted by helicopter at dusk or dawn. Recent rainfall may be a factor, as mosquitoes are attracted to standing water to lay their eggs,
Englewood will be sprayed Thursday morning. The intended area is north of the St. John's River, east to University Boulevard South and near I-95.
