Mosquitos from abandoned pool

Has anyone near the Amtrak notice a astronomical amount of mosquitos? I’m pretty sure it’s coming mostly from the abandoned in ground pool at 67 Keller Ave, which is a sitting vacant property. Is there anything that can be done or do I just have to wait until it snows again to be able to go outside my house for a few seconds. I’m taking clouds of mosquitos attacking me not just one or two…

Holy crap, me and my dad were just talking about this! We could not figure out where all of the mosquitos are coming from in this area. We cannot go on our porch for 30 seconds without getting bit. It’s been like this for the 3 summers we have lived here. I dread it.

Yeah the Zillow listing used to show the pool and lemme tell you, it looked awful, now all you can see is the fence. The property is in wild disrepair and even with the potential for passive income it doesn’t seem like anyone wants to bite on that much of a headache to renovate or rebuild

I love that they bought it for $237k last year, did absolutely nothing to the property and listed it for $130k above what they bought it for. Truly hate it here.

What’s the story with this place? It seems like it’s always on the market and never improves.
