Why Are There No Mosquitoes at Disney World?

  • Walt Disney World is smack dab in the middle of a swamp in a state that is, more or less, a big swamp itself. So with that in mind, why isn’t Walt Disney World swarming with mosquitoes?

    How? Well they don’t have any particularly special weapon that isn’t used elsewhere in the world. Disney’s arsenal includes insecticides which kill mosquitoes fairly quickly, growth regulators which reduce their lifespan, and maintaining natural predators in the area that eat the bugs as part of their diet. On their own, they’re all methods that many other places employ to deal with the annoying bugs. However the impressive part is the vigilance and precision in which Disney carries out these methods.
    It all begins with the Mosquito Surveillance Program which is an element of the Department of Planning and Engineering for the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The Improvement District itself is the governing jurisdiction that covers Walt Disney World and is controlled by Disney.
    You see rather than blindly spraying insecticides over the entirety of the property, which is twice the size of Manhattan, Disney instead uses various methods to carefully track where and when to spray. The program maintains over 60 traps across the area of Walt Disney World.
    They’ll then bring those traps, filled with mosquitoes, back to a lab where the mosquitoes are frozen to death and analyzed. The team looks at everything from what kind of species they are, to their concentration, to how old they are and how many of them were ready to lay eggs. By looking at all this data for all of these traps, Disney is able to paint themselves a picture of what parts of the property need the most attention when it comes to eliminating the bugs.
    Similar to the way they lay mosquito traps all over property, they also spread something else across their property: chickens. They’re called sentinel chickens, and their sole purpose is to be monitored for signs of dangerous viruses like the West Nile virus. Unlike us, chickens don’t get sick from the West Nile virus. Disney tests the blood of these chickens regularly to see if that antibody is present. If it is, it means a mosquito with the virus was nearby.
    So using these tools, Disney is able to adjust their spraying patterns and other mosquito killing methods to keep up with unexpected concentrations of the bug. Now that’s the precision of their methods, but there’s also the vigilance. Disney, more than most, sprays their property twice a day to cull the mosquito numbers, once right around sunrise and once around sunset, the two times of the day mosquitoes are most active. Their fleet of trucks cover as many as a combined 86 miles worth of roads, fields, canals, and firebreaks across their property.
    However, what happens when their best isn’t good enough? Well if there’s one thing Disney holds above guest experience, it’s guest safety. So in the few instances where they felt they could do more to ensure that guest safety, it came at the cost of experience. Most notably, there were instances of an encephalitis scare both in 1990 and 1997 that resulted in Disney taking extra precautions. They handed out letters to guests staying on property that cautioned them to minimize activities during sunrise and sunset, and to wear longer sleeves whenever possible. On top of that, both golf courses on property as well as water based attractions were closed early so that guests weren’t using either during sunset. The outdoor luau at the Polynesian resort was temporarily moved indoors, and the hay bale rides and campfire activities at Fort Wilderness were completely cancelled. Recently we saw Disney take extra steps during the Zika virus scare in 2016. Guests at resorts were offered free mosquito repellent, and stations with the repellent were setup throughout the theme parks on property.

    In 2006 I was staying at Animal kingdom and got bitten whilst on my balcony overlooking the savanna one evening. My fault. Nobody else’s. The next morning I popped into the hotel shop for some bite cream and the cast member was horrified. Gave me the cream free and took details of my room number. By the time i had returned to my room with the cream a crew had arrived and were draining the pond outside my room!! No more bites for the rest of my stay.... amazing response.

      We were staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort and our son wet the bed one night. We told the housekeeper the next morning as we left. When we got in late that night, after midnight, the same, kinda damp, mattress was still there. We called the desk to "complain" and they said they'd send someone right over. Ten minutes later the resort's night manager was there with a brand new mattress and three vouchers for lunch the next day anywhere we wanted to eat on property. (We chose Boathouse) You're right, they don't play around with customer satisfaction.

    I'm always surprised that there are almost no butterflies at Disney World, despite there being flowers everywhere. During the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot there are millions of native flowers that blanket the park, yet there are no butterflies (or bumblebees or other insects you would normally see). I have just a few of those native plants in my yard here in Florida and they are covered in butterflies every day. I think that their twice-daily spraying for mosquitoes is not only killing mosquitoes.

    I moved from the Northeast to Florida when I was 40. In all the time I've been here I've never been bothered by mosquitoes. In fact, as I recall, summertime in Massachusetts I was more bothered by them than I ever have been here. Maybe in the swampy places there are more mosquitoes but in residential areas it is just not a problem.

      Mosquitos don't use lakes to breed, but small stagnant pools of water. Things like hollow trees, a discarded tin can, a depression lined with fallen leaves, etc. Unless the lakes are devoid of life, ofcourse, because fish would eat the larvae otherwise.

    As a commercial pesticide applicator that has done work for Disney, I can say firsthand that Disney currently uses the in2care system for mosquito control. It's commercially available in the best product on the market. Disney uses chickens to diagnose areas with heavier mosquito populations around the park. They draw the blood from the chickens and can tell what the mosquito density is. Those are the areas they target.

      At least one of those cartoons is from the early days when Disney was contracted to make short films for the U.S. military. Mosquito control was a big thing for overseas troops back in the day--you can't have an effective fighting force when they're all sick with malaria or dengue or what have you! So the military figured that their soldiers might learn better from a fun cartoon than they would if their superiors just told them to be vigilant, use their bug spray, and empty out standing water.
      Here's a link to the full cartoon (though it's inexplicably in black and white): czcams.com/video/kmi3S7CMw0Q/video.html

    Idk what they use but I’ve been to WDW many times over the years and every single time I end up with rashes and swelling on my extremities. A couple of trips to Universal ended without those symptoms. It was so bad once, I ended up going to a clinic before heading home because I needed diuretics to prevent nerve damage! It’s the only place I’ve ever been to that leads to those weird symptoms.

    Stayed on property with my extended family in 2017. There was mosquito repellent wipes in all of our resort rooms. Way to go, Disney!

    In brazil we have a newspaper called "Folha de São Paulo", we roll it and smash the little mosquitoes whenever it's possible.
