Mosquito Control
The Mosquito Threat
Mosquitoes can carry three very important mosquito-borne diseases that occur in Florida:
Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE),
St. Louis encephalitis (SLE), and
West Nile fever / encephalitis (WNV).
All of these diseases are caused by viruses that
are transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. In addition, mosquitoes can transmit
heart worm in dogs.

Mosquito trapping devices became popular a few years ago. Most trapping devices are based on generating
carbon dioxide (CO2) to lure the mosquitoes to the device. Their popularity is based on
marketing rather
than performance. What do the researchers say about these devices? “There is no evidence at this time that
mosquito traps can play a noticeable role in the decline of mosquito populations.”

Research says “Mosquito control misting systems... lack the human element that is critical for effective and environmentally proper mosquito control.” Details...
