Mosquitos in New Orleans

Friday, May 12th, 2006

I won’t quote the whole Yahoo article here, but I just read something really cool.

To combat mosquitos in all the abandonded pools in New Orleans, they’re not just spraying huge areas with pesticides. They’re putting fish that eat the mosquito larvae into the pools. On one hand, I wouldn’t want to come back to my house and find out that there are trout in my pool, but it is a cool environmentally friendly way of doing things.

Note: they’re not trout, more like guppies.
