“Broward is now using a drone to spray for mosquitoes in hard-to-reach places.

The drone hits the air with a payload of about 15 pounds of spray, enough to cover 3 acres at a time…

Until now, crews could spend days covering a single territory that’s inaccessible by truck, wading in mud, armed with a machete to get past bushy trees…

Now, the drone is traveling to where the breed of mosquitoes called Aedes (a Greek word that means unpleasant) aegypti lay their eggs.”
