Mosquitoes grow into larvae from eggs laid in water, making proliferation of the biting bugs a major concern after California's extraordinarily rainy winter. 🦟
The district sprawling over more than 800 square miles south of Los Angeles is reporting that traps are capturing three times the 15-year average number of mosquitoes.Common methods of applying anti-mosquito treatments involve use of backpack sprayers, trucks, airplanes and helicopters. The drone allows more precise treatments and avoids the need to trample through sensitive lands, according to the district.
Nguyen said the drone is able to treat 1 acre of land in under two minutes, a task that would take more than an hour of hiking by a worker with a backpack. According to the district, the drone operators must have a Federal Aviation Administration remote pilot license as well as a California Department of Pesticide Regulation unmanned aircraft vector control technician license.
It's mosquito season again! Here are some things to know about the most common mosquito-borne disease and how to protect yourself.
