KAYSVILLE, Utah (AP) -- Despite cold and sometimes freezing temperatures, work to control mosquitoes is ongoing.
Davis County Mosquito Abatement crews are treating holes in maple, box elder and sycamore trees for the western treehole mosquito. The mosquitoes lay their eggs in rot holes in trees. Abatement crews know of 800 trees in the county that may be harboring mosquitoes.
Abatement District Director Gary Hatch says the mosquito spreads heartworm in dogs. He says he'll get data on where heartworm cases were reported in 2008 so crews can treat those areas.
