Dog Fly Plane

SWMD axed the plane in the budget for a variety of reasons; funds, age of plane and upkeep, and public imput.

I for one, would like to have the plane back.....dog flies and yellow flies are the worst!!!


In 2007, the Walton County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to do away with the Dog Fly Plane. The motion was made by Commissioner Meadows and seconded by Commissioner Larry Jones. They informed the state of Florida that although the dog fly program was a Free Service to Walton County they did not wish to have a plane fly over our beaches due to its age and the chemicals.

The Department of Agriculture who controls the dog fly plane decided to eliminate this program in their 2008 budget. The age of the plane was over 60 years old and the state did not show any interest in buying a newer model consequently it was getting too expensive to operate.

At no time has the South Walton Mosquito Control budgeted or participated in funding this program. This program was funded 100% by our taxes collected by the state.

Due to the fact that Walton County decided to do without the services provided by the state in 2007, if Walton County wishes to have any kind of dog fly service performed it will have to fund it 100% on its own. These funds will not come out of the South Walton Mosquito Control budget since dog fly's are not covered under the statute, which governs the mosquito control.

If you experience problems with dog fly?s contact your county commissioner.

Right on! Ya might know the Miss's she is alway trying to hunt down mosquito fish for people. She would be the resident Fish Dr. in Walton Co.

Fantastic, as you know we provide mosquitofish free to the public. The last thing that we like to do is use chemicals, anything that we can do as prevented maintenance is better for the environment and our district.

So, what would you do if you knew the truck driver's name? Black ball him? Fortunately, mob rule isn't legal.

I actually recommended community service putting up "share the road signs" on 30a and some time riding a bike on the bike path and on 30a...just to get a feel for it.

Who knows maybe he could be the next US Masters National Champion. Stranger things have happened. :D

Oh...and losing his right to carry a gun. That is my wish list.

I'm confused about the use of the phrase "black ball" here. Is Mr. Orange Truck trying to join a fraternity?
