OK, here I am at work. To the left I am checking some water with my dipper to look for Larva. Some areas don't look like there is water- but sure enough there is. To the right, I am treating an area with a blower- a work 'life saver' on large areas. Lots of fun I know! This is my 6th summer working here so don't trust me when I say it's fun! Below is a picture of a larva sample and an abandoned pool in back of a foreclosed home. These types of pools are like the hot hang outs for mosquitoes (the Vegas of the mosquito world). So for all you who have decorative ponds or whatnot, keep and eye on them and clean them out every week! : )
We have been very busy at work because the rivers flooded and created lots of water pockets that have been breeding this past month or so. Also, this past week was SOOO HOT!!! in the high 90's and 100's! I have a great tan, but it is limited to my face, arms and a small triangle on my neck/chest (cause of our button up shirts!) Needless to say, I look funny when I go swimming!

At least you'll be able to accurately detect any mosquito's during those swimming sessions.
