23 February 2021
The Florida Keys Mosquito Control District and Oxitec announce the FKMCD – Oxitec Mosquito Project is set to begin small, focused projects in a select number of neighborhoods situated between mile markers 10 and 93 in the Florida Keys.
The initial project is expected to be in operation no earlier than April 2021. FKMCD and Oxitec appreciate the high level of support shown by community members wishing to participate in the project. Interested residents are encouraged to support the project by signing up to host mosquito release boxes or mosquito traps, both of which are valuable ways residents can be involved.
