Mosquito Coast

Shepherd Park residents are so upset with this summer’s mosquitos, they’re compiling a list of addresses where the nasty things have taken over. On the neighborhood’s message board, the poster-in-charge wrote: “OK folks, it’s amazing what itching will motivate people to do.”

The poster then provided a list of “Affected areas” as provided by residents:

1400 Leegate
7500 16th
West Beach and Yorktown
1400 Juniper
7800 14th
1300 Locust
1600 Jonquil
7500 Alaska
1300 Iris
7500 14th (x2)
1800 Plymouth
1400 Geranium (x2)
7300 12th
7500 12th
600 Nicholson
1400 Floral
800 Fern
7900 Orchid

1400 Locust
1400 Hemlock
Northgate and Primrose
1600 Primrose

1200 Holly (x3)

We should be able to add to this list. And if anyone can offer safe abatement procedures aside from draping these blocks with mosquito nets, then please post away!
