Description
The south side of the 54th Ave N canal, between Martin Luther King Dr. and 4th Street N, is heavily polluted with trash. It is now gathering rodents and a foul smell. The problem is due to the fact that there is a large section of the canal where the cattails and high grass are missing. This leaves a section of shallow grass where cups and bottles get stuck and cannot be dislodged when the canal water flows. I have tried getting the trash myself, but it is too far away from the banks. Is there a way to fix this and get it cleaned up?

A service request about the mosquito problem in your area has been entered into our system; our technician should be there within one working day depending on their work load. They will inspect the property and surrounding neighborhood to determine the source of the problem and will take the necessary action to correct the problem; whenever possible we try to target mosquitoes in the aquatic juvenile stage to control them at the source.
If we cannot get into the property due to locked gates, then please check for anything that may be holding rainwater as mosquitoes will breed in containers as small as a bottle cap. We’ll be checking the area surrounding the property for anything that may be contributing to the problem, and will take the necessary steps to eliminate or treat the source.
If you are at the property when the technician arrives, please take the opportunity to talk to them about your concerns. If you are not at the property when they arrive, a card will be left providing you with detailed information on our handling of your request.
If there are any other questions or concerns you may have please call us at 727- 464-7503 or visit our website at: http://www.pinellascounty.org/publicworks/mosquito/default.html
