As the saying goes, �when it rains, it pours.� Heavy rains in warm weather usually precipitate a large mosquito hatch-off by about a week. Immediately after a significant rain event, our inspectors are busy treating the standing water for larvae in order to reduce the magnitude of the impending invasion. Once it occurs, our office is flooded with requests for service, and we must prioritize our efforts. We use a combination of citizen requests, employee observations and trap counts from mosquito traps placed throughout the county to determine the areas of highest infestation.
