All premises located within the unincorporated areas of Hernando County shall be maintained
in such a manner as to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes and other pestiferous arthropods
on the premises. Artificial containers, ditches, streams, tires, canals, and all other
such sources of standing water or other liquid that serve as breeding sources must
be removed, drained, treated, altered, maintained, or otherwise eliminated by the
person occupying the premises or, in the absence of an occupant, by the owner, in
such a manner as to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes. Where there is evidence of
mosquito and other pestiferous arthropods breeding, effective methods of eliminating
and treating breeding sources shall be instigated by the person occupying the premises,
or in the absence of an occupant, by the owner, within seventy-two (72) hours after
discovering or being informed of the evidence of breeding on the premises. The owner
or occupant of a premise with a natural body of water shall not be responsible for
maintaining such natural body of water to eliminate breeding, but shall cooperate
with Hernando County in eliminating the breeding source if the natural body of water
is suspected of or has been determined to be a breeding source. The owner or occupant
of premises with a stock tank shall manage the stock tank to minimize breeding of
mosquitoes and other pestiferous arthropods without using any substance that will
impair the use of the water for livestock.
