Salt marsh and bromeliad mosquitoes
Mosquito Control in Palm Coast
The East Flagler Mosquito Control District was created in 1952 because salt marsh mosquitoes plagued coastal residents, and it still traps and identifies mosquitoes year-round. Closer to home, the District reports that containers and ornamental bromeliads accounted for 30 percent of all resident tips in 2021. Those plants harbor the Asian tiger mosquito, which is most active in daylight, and the District recommends removing the bromeliads outright.
