How can I control mosquitoes?
How can I control mosquitoes?The first way to control mosquitoes is to eliminate the breeding grounds. This includes cleaning gutters that have debris blocking downspouts so the water sits in the gutter. This a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Remove standing water from garbage cans. Garbage cans are a popular breeding ground for mosquitoes as well as planters that have standing water in them. Water used for fountains should be circulated and not left to sit. Pond water that is not circulated should be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent mosquitoes from depositing their eggs on the stagnant water. Old tires that have standing water should be removed from the property as well as anything that holds water.
