Director, East Flagler Mosquito Control District
As part of the State Mutual Aid Agreement that the East Flagler Mosquito Control District participates in, the District was scheduled to render aid in the form of helicopter treatments of the salt marsh mosquito breeding sites in Volusia County on April 22-23.
Volusia Mosquito Control’s helicopter is not operational at this time, and, due to the pressing need to treat salt marsh mosquitoes before they emerge as biting adults, an emergency request was made for mosquito control assistance under the State Mutual Aid Agreement. For this joint operation, Volusia is supplying fuel and the pesticide, and the District will be reimbursed for equipment use and personnel expenses.
