This drain is not moving any water, appears to be clogged. Meanwhile a lot of Mosquitos are breeding here.

Work planned is to vactor pipes and structures. Thank you and have a nice day.

Following the recent heavy rains, Pinellas County Mosquito Control is responding throughout the county to prevent mosquito breeding. With the increase in standing water, technicians are aggressively treating known breeding areas by ground and by air, and are responding to requests from residents.

“In the wake of the recent rains and flooding, we are asking our citizens to be ever vigilant in taking precautions to avoid mosquitoes,” said Glen-Paul Edson, assistant operations manager at Pinellas County Mosquito Control. “We have increased our aerial Larvicide treatments to try to stop the mosquitoes before becoming adults as well as our fogging to rid the county of adult mosquitoes.”

Mosquito larvae develop in any water that stands more than four days and mosquitoes can breed in as little as one quarter inch of standing water

Residents are urged to be diligent in ridding their properties of standing water to prevent mosquitoes from breeding by taking these precautions:

• Empty water from old tires, flower pots, garbage can lids, recycling containers, boat tarps and buckets
• Eliminate standing water near plumbing drains, air conditioner drips, septic tanks or rain gutters
• Flush birdbaths and wading pools weekly
• Flush bromeliads twice weekly or treat with a biological Larvicide
• Change the water in outdoor pet dishes daily
• Keep pools adequately chlorinated
• Stock ornamental ponds with mosquito-eating Gambusia fish
• Cover rain barrels with fine mesh screening
• Repair rips or tears in door and window screens

In addition, the Florida Department of Health advises residents to follow “Drain and Cover” preventative measures by draining standing water to stop mosquitoes from multiplying as well as covering skin with clothing and using mosquito repellent. For more information, visit www.floridahealth.gov.
