ITEM #F2i - Mosquito Control - (Sue Bartlett, Presenter)
Ms. Bartlett, of Pinellas County Mosquito Control and Vegetation Management District, gave a
presentation on their approach to mosquito control. This agency works with municipalities as
well as unincorporated areas to prevent mosquitoes from becoming pests. They follow strict
guidelines to reduce negative environmental impact and rotate products used to prevent .
mosquitoes from developing a tolerance. The agency is also involved in several studies in
conjunction with local universities to explore more natural solutions, such as the use of
dragonflies, fish and other natural predators. It was also noted that eradication of invasive. non-
native species of plants, such as Brazilian pepper trees, will help control mosquitoes by keeping
local waterways free flowing and reducing standing water pools.
