Mosquito Abatement District provides quick response

Our recent dealings with the Mosquito Abatement District (MAD) have been very positive.

It is refreshing to be able to call an agency such as this and be treated with same-day service. Wow, that’s unheard of.

Our neighborhood has two documented pools that have been ongoing breeding ponds for mosquitoes. The MAD has been an advocate that unquestionably attacks these concerns through educational feedback and quick response.

That is something that is lacking in our development. Not too many agencies do this, so we are both pleased and grateful.

The people we have met during this process have been professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. I hope all neighbors will have a happy ending. Hats off to these folks, indeed.
