What You Can do to Eliminate Mosquitoes

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, can, buckets, jars, flower pots, etc.
	Old tires
	Anything that will hold water for more than seven days.
