Mosquito Control in Southwest Florida After Hurricane Irma
On September 19th
On September 10th, 2017, Hurricane Irma swept across Southwest Florida, bringing not only heavy winds, but widespread flooding.
Thankfully, adult mosquitoes don’t generally survive the high winds that hurricanes bring, so during the hot, stagnant days of no power that followed this massive storm, at least we weren’t covered with mosquitoes.
Unfortunately, the flooding that’s occurred in Fort Myers, Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres caused by Hurricane Irma has created the perfect conditions for a major mosquito outbreak throughout Southwest Florida.
