📢 Aerial Mosquito Treatment UPDATE

As part of the ongoing response to dengue fever in our area, the City of Tampa has announced additional aerial mosquito control beginning today, September 3, in coordination with Hillsborough County and Pasco County Mosquito Management.

You may see orange helicopters flying at low altitudes over portions of Tampa, including V.M. Ybor and nearby areas, as crews apply Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) to target mosquito larvae.

This treatment uses liquid Bti, a naturally occurring bacterium that targets mosquito larvae and does not harm people, pets, fish, birds, or beneficial insects.

With dengue cases continuing to be a concern locally, please continue taking precautions around your home and property:

🦟 Dress in light-colored, long-sleeved clothing and closed-toed shoes
🦟 Defend yourself with insect repellent
🦟 Dump or cover standing water where mosquitoes can breed

Please also check yards, gutters, planters, buckets, birdbaths, tarps, toys and other places where even small amounts of water can collect.

The low-flying helicopters may be noticeable, so please help spread the word to neighbors who may not have seen the City's announcement — especially those who aren't on social media.
