YOU MAY HAVE LOVED THE RAIN, BUT ONE BY-PRODUCT OF ALL THE MOISTURE IS MOST UNWELCOME. THE SOUND OF MOSQUITOS IS ALL TOO WELL-KNOWN THIS TIME OF YEAR AS MOSQUITOS COME OUT IN FORCE. PAUL SMITH WITH THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE'S ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS THEY RESPOND TO REPORTS OF MOSQUITOS BY RESIDENTS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS.
HE SAYS THE LARVAL HABITAT IS THEIR PRIMARY TARGET, BUT WHEN THE GET REPORTS OF LARGE NUMBERS OF MOSQUITOS, THEY SPRAY FOR THOSE AS WELL.
ALBUQUERQUE HAS 18 TRAPS SET ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE CITY, MONITORING MOSQUITO POPULATIONS.
