Bill Ennis mixes chemicals deadly to the biting bugs (photo to right). Monitoring control panels, Ennis readies plane for his next flight to spray mosquitos (photo below). The pilot guides the plane homeward (bottom photo). Story by Bryon Saxton Photos by Rodney Wright since the discovery of stagnant water. The mosquito. And confronting the winged bug so the people of Davis County don't have to are the personnel of the countys mosquito abatement team. And one member of the team who soars above the rest is the pilot of the mosquito abatement plane. His job is to battle the mosquito in its early stages of life with the deadly spray known as Dursban. I kill more bugs in five minutes than 99 percent of the people in the state kill, said Bill Ennis, mosquito abatement pilot for Salt Lake, Weber, and Davis Counties. Each county has its own mosquito abatement district. Ennis said he flys every other day in Davis County to control the mosquito problem, adding Davis County does a very thor-ough job of killing mosquitos, more so than the other two counties.-'-. Ennis said he sprays the area the Salt Lake International Airport north to Willard Bay. And how docs he know where to spray? County men go out in the area swamps with little dippers, and dip in the water to study mosquito larvae. If there are more than 50 mosquitos to a dipper (the size of a small drinking glass), then maps are designed and issued to me outlining the spraying areas," Ennis said. swaths at Ennis takes the mosquitos and has a kill success ratio of 80 to 90 percent. The key to killing mosquitos is catching them in the water before they grow wings and become mobile, he said. Once the mosquitos get wings, the winds carry them from the from 60-fo- ot lakeshore all the way to Bountiful. The majority of spraying in Davis County takes place near the shore of the Great Salt Lake and the Antelope Island area. However, mosquitos in the cit- ics are killed by other means. In residential areas, mosquito abatement uses foggers, large trucks for spraying, instead of the plane in order to prevent the chemical from damaging automobile paint. Mosquito abatement also has light traps placed in strategic locations throughout the county to prevent mosquito build-uIn the past, people used to, see mosquitos in swarms, Ennis said. But now mosquitos can no longer swarm. We simply go out and eliminate them before they can build up. Most people dont realize if we stop spraying, they would not be going out on picnics or to the ball parks, he said. Rex Passey, director of Davis p. County Mosquito Abatement District, said there is constant spraying for mosquitos from April to October. In three to four days of hot weather, mosquitos go through four larvae stages, through pupae, to adult mosquitos where they take flight. We feel if we cant get them in the larvae stages, then they are much more difficult to kill, Pas-$- y said. Passey referred to the county mosquito abatement seasonal team as the best bargain in municipal government. In Davis County last year, someone living in a $60,000 home paid $1.40 for mosquito abatement, he said. Davis County mosquito abatement is located and operated out of Kaysville, and has been serving the area for 33 years. 10-m- an 0, 4-- H 546-174- 0.
