In the fight against mosquitoes in the Florida Keys, domestic inspector Carrie Atwood has a few indispensable tools. She carries a dipper — essentially, a plastic cup at the end of a stick. She has a flashlight for looking into the backs of plants and pots. And she has a turkey baster.

“That’s good for getting into bromeliads, which is a plant that holds water at the base of the leaf,” Atwood said. “We use that to dip in there or just any other kind of tight space where the dipper won’t go.”
