Increased mosquito activity expected across Grand Cayman
The Mosquito Research and Control Unit has warned residents to expect a noticeable increase in mosquito activity from the beginning of next week.
With the rainy season under way, the increase is being driven by the seasonal conditions of heavy rainfall and tidal flooding.
The MRCU noted that this will be the second large increase during the current season.
“Higher tides have flooded wetland areas, while rainfall on already saturated ground has created additional standing-water sites in low-lying areas, roadside drains and other locations,” the department stated. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
