Watch for the mosquito trucks…. they are so rare they are easy to stand out, I wager that is where cases are reported.
They hit several neighborhoods around Chemstrand, 10 mile and East….

I for one want to know where the cases are. Its the public’s right to know and we should not have to file freedom of information to find out.

Do you think the county really knows whats best for us or should they just tell us the truth and let us decide?

Well I guess the County and Mosquito control is just going to set on their back sides of do nothing and just DO NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is their usual course of action. RIGHT!

Mosquitoes stay within 300 feet or so of their stagnant water (larvae need water to hatch) source. Check around your property for standing water. It could be even a hollow in a tree holding water. If it’s not you, get your neighbors to check their property. The county will come spray if you call their mosquito control number and tell them of your problem. As far as junky neighbors, or neighbors with overgrown yards, you have to call code enforcement or your county county commissioner’s office and make a complaint. You HAVE TO CALL to make these things happen.

People also need to cut their grass! Mosquitos love tall grass. My neighbor behind me never cuts his yard. The grass is up to my waist! He also has a lot of junk in his yard that holds stagnant water. The county needs to come around and start citing people who are practically endangering others with their laziness.

“even with long sleeves, long pants and DEET on me I still get bitten”

They need to start spraying for mosquitos. They are so bad out here in Molino that even with long sleeves, long pants and DEET on me I still get bitten. They bite through clothes and bite in your hair! I can’t stay inside ALL the time!
