What can the general public do to help us with our mosquito control program?
Here are some tips to prevent mosquitoes from breeding on your property:

• Keep rain gutters free of debris.
• Clean birdbaths at least once a week.
• Keep yard and surrounding areas free of any artificial containers, which can collect rainwater.
• Eliminate standing water from crawl spaces and basements.

Anything holding water for at least four days can become a mosquito habitat. In addition, if you find a mosquito habitat, please do not hesitate to call our office.

A mosquitofish, or Gambusia affinis, is used to control Mosquito Larvae. They eat hundreds of larvae every day.
