Foreclosure Fish Popular With South Florida Mosquito Control Departments

In Miami, Florida, WFOR-TV Channel 4 reports:

• [M]osquito-control departments across Florida, especially in South Florida, are hearing rising complaints about pools turning into soupy messes at homes in foreclosure but Miami-Dade's mosquito control department is fighting back with fish. [...] There are many methods being used to control the problem, including chemical treatments, but one of the most unique methods is mosquito-eating fish. They're called "Gambusia Affinis", also known as mosquito fish.

• But is it cost effective? Absolutely. The fish is native in South Florida and can be found in just about any canal.
