If
you are noticing more mosquitoes than usual on your property because
of hurricane Michael, the county extension office can help.
Because
of the storm there is more standing water and many people who's pools
were damaged in the storm may not be able to filter their water yet.
The
extension program in Franklin County has free mosquito dunks that can
help you deal with the problem.
Mosquito
dunks are put in water where they release larvicide and provides a
biological mosquito control.
The
Dunks are safe both for the environment and animals as well as
humans, but are deadly to mosquitoes.
Mosquito
Dunks offer long-term protection and kills larvae for 30 days and
they are very effective in destroying mosquito larvae before they
hatch into adult mosquitoes.
With
just a single dunk you can clear up to 100 square feet of
surface water from mosquito larvae.
The
dunks are available free of charge at the Extension office at the
Franklin county courthouse in Apalachicola.
They
recommend you call them at 653-9337 before coming by as they are not
always available at the office.
