Florida Pest Pros

Tampa Bay is now the epicenter of Florida’s locally acquired dengue cases, with 33 cases across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, accounting for more than 80% of the state’s 41 cases.

And here’s the wild part: during an earlier summer surge, one South Tampa mosquito trap collected about 18,000 mosquitoes after dry weather followed by heavy rain triggered a major hatch. 🦟😳

Mosquito-control crews are now ramping up ground treatments and low-altitude aerial spraying, with Pasco County crews assisting Hillsborough.

Officials say mosquitoes can develop from egg to adult in just days during summer heat, and dengue-carrying mosquitoes can breed in something as small as a bottle cap of standing water.

So the message is simple: check your yard every few days and dump anything holding water. Buckets, toys, plant saucers, gutters, all of it.

Shoutout to FOX 13’s Matthew McClellan for putting this mosquito madness on our radar. 🦟📺
