West Nile could thrive in recession - Local - The Modesto Bee
The Modesto Bee makes the point that more and more pools and ornamental fountains will likely be too expensive to keep up in this cruddy economy. Or, because we're talking about California here, people may get kicked out of these homes, leaving no one to care for these big old "green pools."
Abandoned swimming pools and fountains, with no chlorine or aerators to move the water around can breed mosquitoes in a matter of days. And what happens if you're the lucky neighbor to this abandoned mosquito water park? You got it.
Most communities will send out a city crew to treat green pools. But if you're getting eaten alive this summer because your neighbor skipped town, tossing a bit of larvicide in there would be a smart move.
