77 - Hunting Down Sewer Mosquitoes

Expansive stormwater sewer systems of metropolitan areas like Chicago can provide excellent habitats for all stages of West Nile virus mosquitoes. Join us as we begin our hunt for these mosquitoes in the very abundant yet logistically elusive habitat of belowground storm sewer pipes. To search for these subterranean insectoid predators, we have pulled together an elite team from the Midwest to employ nothing more than our wits, our strength of will and a couple of robot sidekicks. As we develop a plan of attack, we will discuss ways to assess both the extent of our infestation underfoot and the tools to defeat it.
