County in Montana Works Toward Mosquito-Fighting Drone Program
Drones might be a better solution for controlling mosquitoes in remote areas that ground vehicles have a hard time accessing.

(TNS) — Spring rains have brought early signs of summer in Montana's Flathead Valley and with it, mosquitoes. Flathead County Mosquito Control has responded with a coordinated effort to contain the mosquito population and the diseases it carries while looking to the future when drone technology will take the program to the next level.
Flathead County Mosquito Control is set to launch its drone application program next year after a protracted approval process. The program received the go-ahead for its drone applicator in a 2-1 vote by county commissioners in March, after Commissioner Gary Krueger turned down an earlier request to review the county’s policies for aerial application of insecticides. The approval allotted $25,000 for the drone and related costs such as a high-definition camera and granular application.
