Moreton Bay gets ahead of the buzz with proactive mozzie management

Key points

• Moreton Bay Council has started its annual mosquito management program, treating key breeding hotspots over the next eight months. Crews use aerial treatments and targeted on-ground products, which the council says are environmentally friendly.
• Mayor Peter Flannery says the aerial products pose no risk to humans or pets. Residents are urged to clear stagnant water, keep pools chlorinated and create frog friendly backyards.
• Treatments will continue until April, with extra work after heavy rain.
