Mosquito Spraying Begins - April 24, 2023
Horry County Stormwater will begin conducting ground spraying (from trucks) on Monday, April 24, 2023. Weather permitting, the spraying will be conducted Monday through Thursday in the evening throughout various parts of the County.
The chemicals used for mosquito control spraying are approved by the EPA and pose minimal risk to humans or animals. Individuals with asthma or other respiratory illness may wish to stay indoors and close windows and doors during spraying. In addition, homegrown fruits and vegetables should be washed, scrubbed, and/or peeled before eating.
To help keep our local honeybee population safe, beekeepers are urged to contact Horry County Stormwater to identify the location of their colonies. You can submit the location of your hive(s) online here: https://www.horrycountysc.gov/departments/stormwater/no-spray-request/?fbclid=IwAR0SgB-rKsu8KGuQrHeiNz6Jkg4Rtpq9qLN7ht5PwzG3O_x-iu1wO8vptVw
In addition, citizens who need to request spraying in the unincorporated areas of Horry County (outside city limits) can contact the Horry County Road & Drainage Hotline at 843-381-8000 or via the online form found here: https://www.horrycountysc.gov/departments/stormwater/service-request/?fbclid=IwAR1miTZZ695Zura68n6Whw1MDYS8VFZc3MGTZ358o3Zw9dnjAONogMjDGnU

Boat Landing Temporarily Closes for Updates
The Peter Vaught Sr. Boat Landing at the Highway 22 and Highway 17 interchange will be closed from Wednesday, April 26, 2023, to Thursday, June 1, 2023, for repairs. Crews will be working to install new docks at the landing.
Whether you love to boat, kayak, or jet ski, the enhancements will help provide a safer experience for all guests. Horry County Parks & Recreation looks forward to welcoming the community back for the summer season!
The closest open boat landings are the T. Craig Campbell and Johnny Causey Landings at Highway 17 in North Myrtle Beach traveling north on the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Socastee Yacht Basin at Highway 544 in Socastee traveling south on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Visit the Horry County website for a full list of boat landings maintained by Horry County Government.

- Azalea Avenue (Access #3)
- Oak Avenue (Access #7)
- Anglers Drive (Access #9)
