Aerial application took place over Saturday and Sunday. Saturday's application was delayed while equipment was recalibrated. A new batch of NuLure was used, with a slightly different viscosity than what was used last week. Several nozzles were recalcitrant, required replacement, which delayed the first helicopter about an hour or so. Subsequent helicopters were less a problem.
Bay Lake is a small lake, no public access.
Drift cards have been positive, you may recall the second pre-application concentration of malathion was 1.1 ppb. We are working with the pilots to see what additional measures can be made to help identify this area from the air. Symptoms occurred about one week after the first application. The Florida Helpline continues to receive calls from citizens in Tampa and Sarasota, opposing the use of ground bait applications of malathion.
