What You Can Do
Make sure you have no containers holding water around your property. Eliminate all breeding areas and habitats in your yard. See the following examples:
- Empty, remove, or cover any receptacle that would hold water - particularly old bottles, tin cans, junk and tires
- Repair leaky pipes and outside faucets
- Screen rain barrels and openings to water tanks
- Cover or turn small boats upside down and keep all water pumped from the bilge
- Change water in wading pools, birdbaths, pet dishes, and vases holding flowers or cuttings twice a week
- Clean clogged roof gutters of all debris and drain flat roofs
- Dispose of yard debris (grass cuttings, trimming, branches, leaves, etc…) properly. DO NOT PUT IN DITCHES OR DRAINAGEWAYS!
- Fill holes in trees with sand or mortar, or drain or spray them as needed
- Fix or replace screen on doors and windows
- Stock ornamental ponds with mosquito larvae eating fish
- Report standing water
