City to Start Mosquito Control Program

This Summer the City will begin using available County tax dollars ($24,960) for a mosquito control program based upon the publication: How to Start a Mosquito Control Program in Your Town Alabama. Public Work's Director Fiddler advised residents to be sure and drain all standing water regularly (bird baths, pots, tires, etc ) or use larvacide. Mosquitos can breed every 96 hours in as little as 1/4 inch of water, according to Fidler. The money was available in past years as well-- but the City never cashed the check (from a $2 per person annual tax imposed by the County several years prior).

Apparently the city has never used the available county tax funds for the mosquito spraying. According to the Public Works Director-- the checks(from the county) were not cashed(at least last year's) for some unknown reason.
