- mr-pink 4y agoinstead of linking four articles why not give the answer? trained rodents nanotechnology lasers herds of chameleons
- daniel_iversen 4y agoI think the comment is a bit hostile, and there's merit in linking to past conversations, that said I for one would love for the first comment to be a TL:DR; comment!
- happyopossum 4y agoThe chickens are for monitoring viruses being transmitted by the mosquitoes, there aren’t enough of them around there to realistically make a dent in the population.
- adastra22 4y agoAnd no standing water.
- trident5000 4y agowith this finger waiving your answer isnt even correct. eliminating standing water looks to be the number 1 thing they do per the article.
- mr-pink 4y agocould be. i didn't spend much effort since this a complete waste of time anyway.
- IntelMiner 4y agoAnd yet making pithy comments isn't?
- ghostpepper 4y ago“Disney freezes the trapped mosquitos for later analysis” is not a sentence I thought I’d ever read
- acchow 4y agoThere are also no mosquitos in San Francisco I also went on a 3 hour hike in the Oakland redwoods this weekend and did not encounter a single mosquito. Pretty amazing
- lamroger 4y agoI remember when they started putting something in the storm drains and after a few years they were mostly gone. You can see the layers of colorful dots on top of the drains
- et-al 4y agohttps://www.mosquitosf.com https://www.mosquitosf.com https://99percentinvisible.org/article/making-the-rounds-with-san-franciscos-mosquito-abatement-courier-team/ https://99percentinvisible.org/article/making-the-rounds-wit... acchow has been extremely fortunate because I've encountered them in the Mission, Russian Hill, Tenderloin, and not surprisingly Mountain Lake Park. Some of the storm drains aren't draining properly. Yes, we've used those expanding screens, but I think the mosquitoes are blood-thirsty enough to crawl through any cracks and most Victorian window frames are no longer square. You can call 311 to ask them to check the drains again, or buy some dunks yourself.

- ViViDboarder 4y agoThere certainly are, but they aren’t common. If you go for an evening hike July to October on Mount Davidson, you’ll know.
