Jacksonville residents can call mosquito control and schedule a technician inspection to help assess any problem you have with the insects or order a spray treatment for your neighborhood.
“The rain from June and July has saturated the ground, so when we get afternoon storms it just adds to the wet soil, creating a breeding ground for mosquitos,” explained Randy Wishard, Chief of Mosquito Control for the city of Jacksonville.
“Artificial containers, as we call them, flower pots, gutters, anything they can tip and toss will help tremendously to prevent water from becoming stagnant,” he said.Mosquito control uses an ultra-low volume mosquito spray at night, when the insects are most active, in the city to kill the insects. There are other steps you can take to reduce your chances of becoming a mosquito magnet. You may not realize this, but the insects are attracted to certain colors.
Pereira suggested that if you spend any time outdoors in the evening, you should wear lighter-colored clothing to avoid being targeted by the blood-sucking insects.
