Why you ask do we show you this bag with little Gambusia Fish? We asked Sarasota County Mosquito Control how they control mosquitoes other then spraying.

They use these Gambusia Fish to eat the larvae of mosquitoes thus reducing their population. With many vacant foreclosed homes they are put in swimming pools that have turned green.

Whood a thunk? Thank you Sarasota County Mosquito Control.

 

Does anyone know what is being built on U.S. 41 across from Jungle Gardens?

 

Venice issues statement that algae bloom has hit some beaches. The same was reported on Anna Maria Beach just north of us.
