"There are 18 Mosquito Control Districts across the State of Florida and they operate with almost no oversight. Almost like they're private companies. There are literally four to five people on the board and they are spending collectively well over $250 million anuually on these chemicals and that is just with one company (Adapco). This is a huge story. So you have 67 counties throughout the State of Florida that manage their own mosquito control programs and/or they contract with these individual Mosquito Control Districts. So what you saw in my most recent video was Lee County Mosquito District helicopters blanketing St Petersburg and Pinellas County with pesticides. So it is either the City Manager or the City Commissioners who are approving this crap. But if you look on the website for Lee County Mosquito Control District you will see that bti isn't even a chemical compound that they are admitting to using even though it is on the list of chemicals they are purchasing annually. So they are potentially spraying more toxic pesticides in broad daylight such as Dibrom or Naled. This is literally a headline news story and a boondoggle going back to 1958 in the State of Florida. In 2025, Lee County Mosquito Control District spent $5.9 million dollars with just one company for about 20 different chemicals. The company is called Adapco. That is just one company in a list of about five to six total companies. In the most recent video I posted (on Facebook) I get into it a little bit but I need to make a more extensive report now that I have studied this a bit more. There has been a lot of controversy and Corruption over the years with these Mosquito Control Districts. The mosquito District in the Florida Keys are the ones that released the Oxitec GMO mosquitoes. They were also forced to pay the City of Key West almost $1 million for environmental contamination. And then the Mosquito District in Collier County is just out of control even despite public outrage. This district has become the center of significant public opposition concerning aerial pesticide applications and a $60 million annual budget. Annually across the entire State the 18 Mosquito Control Districts are costing Florida taxpayers $250 million or more. When you combine the individual Florida counties as well you're talking well in excess of that amount when you include all the chemical agents and personnel. And now, in my opinion, what we are seeing is that they are necessitating it. Classic Problem and solution as we go into winter in Florida when mosquitoes go completely dormant. And they are treating for Dengue Fever which has literally killed 25 people across the ENTIRE United States since 2010. You have better odds of winning the Powerball Lottery then dying from Dengue." - @FLskywatchers See less
