Mosquitos are bad!

[florida girl]

When the county built JD Miller Rd, it was when we were having a drought. Apparently, they failed to consider the consequences of bringing in massive amounts of fill dirt, removing the existing ditches, and creating little berms. After all the rain we've had, the mistake has become a problem. Water stands in the adjoining properties and doesn't seem to ever drain. There has always been a lot of water flowing from West to East in that area. They have effectively created a levy! I've wondered just how far those Mosquito's would travel, and apparently quite a distance. This will become a serious health risk if not dealt with. The proximity to Town Center is a concern. The school, Boys and Girls Club, Library, and even the new construction going on at the college. The ditches need to be redone quickly!

don't tadpoles eat mosquito larvae?

If memory serves, much of the area pictured is considered wetlands.

I have a swamp next to my house that is full of water....lots of it from the astounding amount of rain we've had recently......and the mosquitos are bad but I wouldn't want that swamp filled in or altered in anyway. It's part of the neighborhood and a consequence of living in Old Pt. Washington......embrace the nature...that is why you live where you do.

This area may be considered a wetland, but until JD Miller road was paved, water did not stand there as it does now.

Embrace the nature! Come on! What about West Nile, Malaria, Hepatitis, etc? That's the point of the Mosquito Control.

Go to the meeting and find out when they are going to fix it. I am not coming down to sowal if you guys have malaria and hepatitis.

Last I checked, they blamed the county, and said there was nothing they could do.

Then call Cecilia Jones. That is her district. Get her to get it fixed.

OMC! I had not heard about cases of West Nile, Malaria, Hepatitis in South Walton. Is there a cover up by the TDC?
