Mosquitoes return after Hurricane Irma | Thumb down
Treasure Coast Newspapers Editorial Board
It might be the only tangible benefit of a hurricane: The mosquitoes get blown away.
In the hours and days immediately after Hurricane Irma, you probably didn't even notice their absence. You were too busy trudging through flood waters, removing debris or wondering when your power would be restored.
No mosquitoes was nice while it lasted. Unfortunately, record-setting hurricane rains in some parts of the Treasure Coast left behind standing water that now is breeding the next generation of pesky insects.
They're back.
Consequently, mosquito spraying has resumed in each county in our region.
Boy, we sure could use another hurricane. Not!
