Bite Back

For every season since 2012, we have provided organic fly and

mosquito remediation for our bay beaches & Ho Hum

For many years, Bellport residents and their guests endured annoying and potentially harmful mosquitoes on our beaches. This growing infestation marred the experience, severely curtailing the use of our beaches. 

​

In May 2012, the Bellport Village Program Fund secured permission from the Bellport Village Board

of Trustees and the appropriate regulatory agencies to implement mosquito control at Ho Hum and

Mother’s Beaches. In 2019, we expanded this to include the Village Bandshell Park.  

​

BVPF uses Jeffrey Jenson (President, South Country Aboriculture, Inc.) to control the mosquito population using DEC approved environmentally responsible materials at regular intervals.  Jeffrey contributed the startup costs for this program and the BVPF has funded the execution costs. Implementation of this project has continued to this day.  This project also includes buying and deploying green fly traps at Ho Hum and Mother's beaches.  Residents have been delighted.
