Madera Fogs For Mosquitoes
The city of Madera is fogging this weekend for a type of mosquito that carries dengue and yellow fever. The fogging will cover a nine-block area in which mosquito traps first turned up the dangerous pests. Two foggers will be used this weekend, and they will be followed up by a fogger that specifically targets larvae.

Couple From The Everglades Knows Mosquitoes
Ike and Mary House grew up in the Everglades where the only pest control they had was their quick-hitting palms. Their approach to Florida mosquitoes is much different from their fellow residents who call in pest control the minute the pests hit. House says modern Floridians are afraid of nature.

He grew up in the Everglades when the only control available was a Gladesman’s big, tough hands. He slapped mosquitoes when he couldn’t avoid them or stayed indoors. A commercial fisherman, he had to risk his hide sooner or later and did so, he points out, without a whimper.
Some called them swamp angels. House never saw anything angelic about the devilish vampires. Sometimes, he wore a bandana over his face to keep from breathing them in.
Modern Floridians, he harrumphs, are scared of nature. They couldn’t survive without air conditioning. He and his wife, Mary, live in a modest house across from the Anclote River, where mosquitoes emerge from the marshes at dusk, sending the pusillanimous into a tizzy. Continue reading…

Delaware A Very “Buggy” State
Delaware just survived a very wet spring. Now it is expecting an influx of mosquitoes, followed by a drought, which will probably lead to a lot of dead trees in a couple of years. But for now the state is preparing for the bugs, especially since it is home to at least 19 different species of mosquitoes.

The rain this month was suggestive of a Bible tale, with nearly all of Delaware receiving epic amounts of precipitation, destruction and, in some places, flooding.
Up next: pests, likely followed by drought, followed – perhaps in a year or two – by many dead trees stressed by too much water, then too little. And just maybe, if conditions are right, some fish kills.
