How Can You Protect Yourself?

Thursday, July 22, 2010 by editor

Mosquito larvae can survive in as little as one half inch of standing water.  During optimal weather conditions, the mosquito lifecycle is complete (from egg to adult)  in as little as 3-5 days. Because mosquitoes have the potential to emerge so quickly, it is important to eliminate any water where larvae will survive. A few examples of places you may find larvae are potted plants with the dish underneath, dog water bowls, empty trash cans, bird baths, bromeliads, rain gutters cluttered with leaves, stagnant kiddy pools, buckets, old tires, yard toys, and boats. By doing your part in reducing the mosquito population, you will be helping contribute to the mission of AMCD: protecting our residents from mosquito-borne viruses. The viruses of most concern in St. Johns County are Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus and West Nile Virus. Click here for information on signs and symptoms of these conditions.

Hello to everyone!  We know the massive rains have caused an influx of mosquitoes which are becoming a nuissance.  I am thrilled that people are actively using the website; however, unfortunately several SJC residents have posted blog responses with no way to get in touch with them.

If you wish to file an online service request:  Please click on the following link /contact-us/service-calls.aspxCompletely fill in the request with all the pertinent information so that we can better serve you.

Our primary goal is to protect SJC residents from mosquito-borne diseases.
