Description
My neighbors at 5818 18th Ave S Gulfport (just behind my home) has a swamp like stagnant pool and the mosquitoes are HORRIBLE all day! I was just out at 10 am and got 18 bites! My kids and I are going through deet like crazy. We had dozens of baby frogs a few months ago but didn't know where they were coming from. We didn't find this problem until last weekend when replacing flood lights at the back of our property. I did call the city of Gulfport early this past week and left a msg with code enforcement but didn't get a call back. Hope you guys can help!

I entered a service request about the mosquito problem in your area; our technician should be there within one working day depending on their work load. They will inspect the property and surrounding neighborhood to determine the source of the problem and will take the necessary action to correct the problem; whenever possible we try to target Mosquitoes in the aquatic juvenile stage to control them at the source.
If we cannot get into the property due to locked gates then please check for anything that may be holding rainwater as Mosquitoes will breed in them by the hundreds, we’ll be checking the area surrounding the property for anything that may be contributing to the problem and will take the necessary steps to eliminate or treat the source.
If you are at the property when the technician arrives then please take the opportunity to inform them of your concerns. If you are not at the property when they arrive a card will be left providing you with detailed information on our handling of your request and what we will do to monitor the area for any further problems that may develop.
If there are any other questions or concerns you may have please call me at 727- 464-7503.
Thank you,
Pinellas County Mosquito Control
