Press release from yesterday (10/13): "Town of Palm Beach Schedules Mosquito Control Efforts"

"The Town of Palm Beach has contracted with Clarke Environmental Mosquito Management, Inc. to launch mosquito control efforts to minimize the threat of Zika Virus transmission in Palm Beach by targeting the aedes aegypti mosquito, which is a carrier of the Zika Virus.
     After careful consideration, Town Council has approved Town-wide ground-based application of the insecticide, DUET, via ultra-low volume spraying by trucks on all town streets to exterminate adult mosquitos. Town Council also approved the dispensing of the larvicide, NATULAR XRT, in over 700 Town-owned storm drains throughout the Town. [emphasis added] Both products are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as an effective means of reducing the aedes aegypti population."
