I received an email today from Marlo at the Lending Company and I wanted to pass on the info he sent.
We in AZ are used to having pools. What happens when your neighbor moves out of state or the house goes into foreclosure? Who takes care of the pool? Most likely nobody and it turns green. Especially in the summer when it is 110 degrees, it turns green Quickly. Then what? Mosquitos come!!!
Well, from what Marlo is saying you can call the Maricopa County Vector Control for Environmental Services and they will put Mosquito Fish into the pool. I guess these fish eat the larvae before the Mosquitos can hatch. I guess I'll try anything once. Plus it is a free service!
So, if you see a green pool call Vector control at 602.506.0700.
It is illegal to have a green pool, so don't hesitate to call. It is our responsibility to keep the spread of disease down. Anyway, who wants mosquitos in your yard?
Hope this helps at least one person out there. And if you try it, let me know if the fish really work!
