About Mosquitoes - Part Two

While we cannot totally eliminate those pesky mosquitoes, (after all, they do serve a role in the environmental food chain), we can take steps to reduce or eliminate their breeding sites.

• Begin by replacing all standing water at least once a week. This includes bird baths, ponds and unfiltered pools.
• Remove unneeded vegetation or trash from around any standing water sources that cannot be changed, dumped or removed.
• Introduce mosquito-eating fish such as gambusia, green sunfish, bluegills and minnows to standing water. Screen windows, doors and other openings with mesh.
• Avoid going outdoors when and where mosquitoes are most active: during dusk or dawn. Use insect repellent containing DEET on exposed skin whenever or wherever mosquitoes are likely to bite.
