SUMMERTIME IS MOSQUITO TIME
(HIT) - Millions of biting, disease-carrying mosquitoes are buzzing around backyards, parks and neighborhoods this summer. You can reduce your chances of getting bitten by mosquito pests by helping to reduce their populations. Most female mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, so emptying pools of standing water is the best way to prevent future populations from hatching.
Make sure to empty birdbaths and swimming pools at least once a week. Get rid of old tires, unused buckets and trash cans that can hold rainwater. Clean clogged roof gutters.
Place a Mosquito Dunk in birdbaths and ponds. The active ingredient in Mosquito Dunks is a naturally occurring bacterium that kills mosquito larvae but isn’t harmful to other living things. A six-pack of Mosquito Dunks sells for about $10 at home centers, hardware stores and gardening stores.
