The types and populations of mosquitoes are aff ected by temperature, humidity,


rainfall, and tides, so inspections are carried out daily, by sampling water for larvae, checking for adults in traps, or by simply leaving an arm exposed while standing outside. Helicopters play a role by quickly transporting inspectors to distant traps or known environments, or to locations that might be near but otherwise diffi cult to access. Another factor that fi gures into management plans is disease. Only certain species


carry certain diseases, but the mere presence of those species does not, by itself, mean that disease is present. Thus, reports from hospitals, tests of trapped mosquitoes, and, for at least one mosquito-control organization, tests of the blood of chickens purposefully housed where they are exposed to mosquitoes are constantly monitored.


Right: This Charlotte County UH-1H is owned by the mosquito-control organization but piloted by a deputy from the sheriff ’s office, which owns and operates another Huey and an AStar, both of which can also be used in mosquito-control efforts.


Below: East Flagler has a single Bell 206B-3, which it uses for the three main roles of helicopters in mosquito control: inspection, larviciding, and adulticiding.
