Peak mosquito season begins as rainfall increases and temperatures rise. The Seminole County Mosquito Control Program is stepping up for the rainy season with new smart traps that use carbon dioxide to identify mosquitoes and fungus gnats. The technology improves data collection and helps the team treat the right areas at the right time, cutting costs and reducing bites before they start.

Fun fact: All new technology devices have been named in honor of a notable public figure. The new trap featured in the video is named after Nancy Johnson, the real-life female inventor who was awarded the first U.S. patent for a hand-cranked ice cream maker in 1843. In recognition of Johnson’s groundbreaking innovation in ice cream production, the Mosquito Control team named their new trap after her—celebrating the comparable impact it’s having on their operations.
