Public Service Announcement

As many of you out there know, mosquitoes must have water and breed in just about anything from bromeliads to soda tops.

Although the likelihood of contracting a mosquito-borne disease is minimal, we’d like to offer some tips to be beneficial for you and your neighborhood.

• Check and Empty
  • Children’s toys
  • Untreated swimming pools
  • Uncovered boats/watercrafts that are not draining water
  • Plant trivets
  • Trash cans and lids
• Change water in birdbaths and flush bromeliads once or twice a week
• Keep yard debris out of the storm drains by properly bagging and removing it where it will not become a food source or breeding ground for mosquitoes
• Repair screens on windows and doors
• Keep gutters clear so they will drain properly
• We encourage natural mosquito control by furnishing gambusia fish for your ponds
• Avoid the outdoors and dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active
• Apply insect repellent
• Keep yourself updated on current mosquito vectored diseases in your area
• If you cannot remove the standing water, Call Mosquito Control and we can come out and treat it for you. 305-292-7190.
