Fort Hood Soldiers Monitor Mosquito Population
Mosquitoes thrive best when it is consistently above 70 degrees. Because of this, Texas has one of the longest mosquito seasons in the country.
First Lieutenant John Hackler and Pfc. Jamie Evans, both assigned to Alpha Company, Troop Battalion, Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, catch mosquitoes, ticks, bed bugs, roaches, along with other flying insects and creepy crawlers.
Hackler is the medical entomology program manager and Evans is a preventative medicine specialist at CRDAMC.
