Mosquito Prevention Tips You can Implement on your own
Eliminate Standing Water:
Empty or cover containers that can hold water, such as bird baths, old tires, buckets, roof gutters, and flower pots. Keep swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs properly chlorinated and maintained.
Make sure septic tanks and cesspools are properly functioning and maintained.
Regularly check for and repair leaky pipes and fixtures.
Clear gutters and drains to prevent water from pooling.
Wear Protective Clothing:
Wear long sleeves, pants, and socks when outdoors, especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
Consider using clothing treated with permethrin, an insecticide that repels mosquitoes and other insects.
Keep Your Lawn Trimmed:
Keep your lawn trimmed short to reduce mosquito breeding sites.
Remove overgrown vegetation and weeds.
Use Mosquito Traps:
Set up mosquito traps around your property to attract and kill mosquitoes.
Mosquito traps can be baited with attractants such as carbon dioxide or light.
