The grant, awarded to Baton Rouge in 2018 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was part of a first-of-its-kind pilot program to tamp down on the region's deadly mosquito population, which breeds in pools of stagnant water that collect in abandoned tires.


This is the only part that really surprised me. The CDC is handing out hundreds of thousands of dollars to shred tires because of mosquitos?! They had way too much money. Perhaps it could have been used in different ways...
