In response to the increased need for mosquito control, teams will now travel to Little Cayman each Friday to carry out enhanced treatments and respond to service requests.

Treatments are now under way in Grand Cayman and will continue over the next two weeks. Once Grand Cayman has been completed, operations will move to Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, with aerial larviciding scheduled for early-mid December.

MRCU crews are working in swamps across Grand Cayman after high larvae levels were detected. A mosquito emergence is expected on 24 November, with higher numbers in West Bay. MRCU will conduct adult mosquito control as necessary and conditions allow.

The Mosquito Research & Control Unit (MRCU) is aware that mosquito numbers have remained high in recent weeks, and we understand how frustrating that has been for residents and visitors.

The Mosquito Research and Control Unit (MRCU) advises the public that mosquito activity has recently increased across Grand Cayman. The team is working hard to bring the numbers down as quickly as possible.

The Mosquito Research and Control Unit (MRCU) began daytime larvicide operations today to target mosquito breeding sites following recent heavy rainfall. Residents may notice the aircraft flying at low altitudes, which is necessary to ensure effective treatment.

Figures from our daily trap collections, field observations, and public reports all indicate higher mosquito numbers. Our crews are out in full force, working to bring populations down as quickly as possible.

The Mosquito Research and Control Unit (MRCU) is conducting daytime larvicide operations over the next few days. Residents will notice the aircraft flying at low altitudes, which is necessary for effective mosquito control.

While you’ll likely notice improvements in the next few days, another spike is likely mid-month due to the recent rainfall. Crews have increased both aerial and ground spraying to bring mosquito levels back down.
