Today is the first day of Spring, and if you will listen at night, there are more frogs than there were here before Jeanne Moeller was elected to the board of the Anastasia Mosquito Control Commission of St. Johns County in 2006. That's because under her leadership, organophosphate spraying for mosquito control has been reduced by some 80%, with natural pesticides taking their place for larviciding --Bti bacteria and Gambusia fish that kill and eat larvae, respectively.
How cool is that?
The reforms and exposures taking place in our area are reminiscent of Dubcek's "Prague Spring" in the former Czeckoslovakia.
You may call it "Frog Spring." (Groan).
Yes we can!
