What You Can Do To Eliminate Mosquitoes
|
|
You can help eliminate mosquitoes by removing stagnant water from these common backyard sources:
• Clogged rain gutters
• Neglected or out-of-order swimming pools, hot tubs, ponds, or fountains
IMPORTANT: Adding chlorine will not prevent mosquito breeding. Pumps and filters must work properly to prevent breeding. 
• Containers such as rain barrels, cans, buckets, jars, flower pots, etc.
 
• Old tires
• Anything that will hold water for more than seven days.
