Managing Mosquitoes Around the Home


Summer is a great time to be outdoors, but mosquitoes 
can put a damper on your fun. They can spread viruses 
like West Nile and Zika. But you can do something about 
it. Mosquitoes need stagnant water to breed. By getting 
rid of all stagnant water in your outdoor spaces-such 
as in gutters and planters-and cleaning and changing 
the water in birdbaths weekly, you limit mosquitoes' 
breeding locations, and maximize your outdoor 
enjoyment.
