Protecting Our Community as Temperatures Rise
By James F. Clauson, Director
As spring arrives and warmer weather beckons us outdoors, the role of the Beach Mosquito Control District becomes more vital than ever. Increased rainfall and rising temperatures create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes, making proactive control measures essential for public health and comfort.
The Beach Mosquito Control District works tirelessly to monitor mosquito populations, implement environmentally responsible control strategies, and educate residents about prevention. Their efforts help reduce the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses and ensure our beaches and neighborhoods remain enjoyable for everyone.
This spring, remember to support the District’s initiatives by eliminating standing water around your home and reporting any mosquito concerns. Together, we can help keep our community safe and thriving throughout the season.
As the Director of the District for the past 16 years and with 36 years of experience in mosquito control, I will retire in April of this year with mixed emotions. We have worked tirelessly together as a forward-thinking and proactive District to provide the best possible mosquito control measures available. From the Office Manager to the Lab Director and Lab Technicians to the Field Technicians to the Operations Manager to the Public Relations/PIO to the Mechanic and to the Pilot, we have made a great team, and I am sure the District will continue to provide the best service possible.
Please remember, we are here to provide a service to the taxpayers and visitors of the Panama City Beach area, and I encourage anyone to contact the District if mosquitoes are a problem. Our phone number is (850) 233-5030. Our website is www.pcbeachmosquito.org
