Stop Mosquito Breeding

Are you fighting mosquitoes breeding in your back yard?

Here’s what you can do about eliminating them.

Find all containers that can hold water and place them upside down.

Do what you can to get rid of water holding containers such as:

  1. Tin Cans, and/or plastic containers that could hold water.
  2. Swimming pools or swimming pool covers containing water.
  3. Tires,
  4. Rain Barrels or grey water barrels,
  5. Flowerpot drains,
  6. Outdoor containers that can hold water.
  7. To control standing water, drill holes in any of the containers
    that could retain water for more than four days.
  8. If you have an ornamental pool, stock it with fish
  9. If you have a wheelbarrow, which could hold water, turn it over.
  10. Rinse out bird baths every other day.
  11. Clean clogged rain gutters.
