\"\"Orange County, FL<\/strong> \u2013 Today, Orange County opened the doors to a new state-of-the-art Mosquito Control facility, marking a major step in protecting public health from mosquito-borne illnesses. Located at 6330 Silver Star Road in the Pine Hills community, the new facility replaces the former site on Conroy Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new workspace for the Mosquito Control team allows us to better respond to the needs of a growing community while enhancing our efforts to safeguard public health,\u201d said Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings. \u201cBy investing in modern infrastructure, we are improving our ability to prevent mosquito-borne disease and protect the quality of life for our residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new location features a roof-mounted, 360-kilowatt solar array which will help generate power for the building and reduce operational costs, saving taxpayer dollars. Additional features include an expanded administrative space, improved maintenance bays, a larger warehouse area for storage, and a dedicated laboratory for mosquito surveillance and testing. A climate-controlled insectary allows staff to raise mosquitoes year-round, strengthening research and disease monitoring capabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission is protecting public health,\u201d said Steve Harrison, manager for Orange County Mosquito Control. \u201cWe trap and test mosquitoes to identify trends and high-risk areas so we can respond quickly. Investing in mosquito control yields strong returns through prevention over response.\u201d<\/p>\n
