Description
The tidal creek in between the alleys behind my house has always been a mosquito breeding ground. The water does not flow properly and creates a perfect environment for mosquitoes. They have gotten very heavy in the last couple of weeks and it’s only going to get worse if not treated. Please 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 us at 727- 464-7503 or visit our website at: http://www.pinellascounty.org/publicworks/mosquito/default.htm
Thank you,
