I entered a service request about the mosquito problem in your area; our technician should be there no later than 24 hours depending on their work load.
The technician will inspect your property and the neighborhood to determine the source of the problem and will treat them accordingly. Whenever possible, we try to target Mosquitoes in the aquatic, juvenile stage, to control them at the source.
If we cannot get into your yard due to locked gates then please check for anything that may be holding rainwater as Mosquitoes will breed in them by the hundreds!! As stated we’ll be checking the area surrounding your address for anything that may be contributing to the problem and will take the necessary steps to eliminate or treat the source.
If there are any other questions or concerns you may have please call me at 727- 464-7503.
Thank you,
Cort Milne

There are actually three pools at three different addresses there. The one shown as 2344 Woodlawn Circle W is actually 2338 Woodlawn Circle W. The next one is at 2305 16th St N just on the other side of the fence from the Woodlawn Circle house. Both of these houses are bank owned. The third one is at 2219 16th St N next door to 2305. It is still showing a real person (with an Arizona mailing address) as the owner but I suspect it's a @#$% house. The one at 2338 Woodlawn Circle W is listed for sale and has a contract on it so maybe relief is in sight for that one. I've been to all three properties and the pools are really nasty. The homes aren't in great shape but they did seem to be secured. Contact me via email at catgwna@knology.net for more information.

Cathy, Please call me so we can discuss the additional properties you mentioned as this will greatly help us in our efforts to address ongoing Mosquito problems this area is experiencing, We can get to most areas to inspect and treat but what goes on behind the fenced yard is one of the biggest obstacles we face in the work we do for the residents we serve.
Thanks!

I have news to report!
2338 Woodlawn Circle W now has a functioning pool! It appears to have been recently shocked and the water is circulating. It's still dirty on the bottom and sides but there is no more algae and the water is blue.
The pool at the 2305 16th St N address has a sturdy cover over it now so it shouldn't be a problem going forward. Based on the notes in the for sale listing, it will need major repairs or to be filled in once the house sells.
The pool and spa at 2219 16th St N is still a problem.
