In Buenaventura Lakes, Osceola County Mosquito Control uses drones to tackle mosquito problems in the wetlands. Starting Monday, September 9, the drones will spread organic larvicide to target and lower mosquito larvae numbers in the area. According to a release available on the Osceola County website, scheduled drone flights will continue over the span of a week, predominantly during the mosquito larvae's most vulnerable periods between 7 AM and 3 PM.
For those in the Buenaventura Lakes community concerned about the impact of these treatments, the county has assured that the product dispersed is not only organic but also singular in its purpose: it poses no threat to other wildlife or plants, focusing its mosquito-fighting prowess solely on the immature stages of these biting insects.
Open lines of communication have been established, offering reassurance to those with questions or concerns about the drones crowding over their homes. They can dial 407-742-0505 to get answers directly from those behind the controls.
