Sanitary Inspector Arthur J. Mayo and the Board of Health say salt marsh mosquitoes known as Aedes Solivitans invade the Seacoast area and fly 10 miles inland. They are a public health nuisance, not a health menace, with control mainly by draining marshes and limited relief from spraying. The pests should decline by November 1 or sooner with a hard winter.
