The Mosquito Research and Control Unit is claiming success over Cayman's mosquito population, saying insect numbers have been vastly reduced through its ongoing preventative methods.

Recent downpours have led to a resurgence of mosquitoes, which is likely to worsen in the coming weeks, according to the Mosquito Research and Control Unit.

With the start of the hurricane season days away and Cayman's first major rainfall on the horizon the Mosquito Research and Control Unit has kicked off its Pre-Hatch Treatment, the annual larvicide application.
