Orange County Hands Out Thousands of Free Mosquito Traps

“The mosquitoes have gotten horrible since the waters rose,” Martin said. “You will get eaten up a lot.”

Last month, Orange County Mosquito Control identified approximately 93,000 acres that are seeing more mosquitoes. Because of that influx, the county and the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences are handing out free mosquito traps.

The traps were invented in a UF lab. And the company that now sells them, Inzecto Mosquito Trap, donated 100,000 traps to hard-hit communities. 9,000 of those traps went to Orange County.
