In response to growing concerns regarding the mosquito population in Buenaventura Lakes' wetlands, Osceola County Mosquito Control is initiating a drone-based treatment program aimed at diminishing the insect's immature stages. The operations are set to begin on Monday, October 7. The scheduled treatments are planned to take place over a week, specifically during daylight hours between 7 AM and 3 PM, targeting various locations across the local community, as reported by Osceola County's official news release.
Residents should know that the control agent is organic, targeting only mosquito larvae with minimal impact on other wildlife and the environment. Drones will be seen in residential areas during aerial applications, and while there may be some public concern, this modern method aims to reduce mosquito bites and the risk of disease.
Those interested in or having queries regarding the mosquito treatment procedures are encouraged to communicate openly with the county officials. Osceola County has provided a contact number for this purpose—407-742-0505—so that residents can directly get in touch with concerns or questions about the drone operations or other related matters.
