Mosquitos and Encephalitis


You can keep mosquitos from proliferating:
-Get rid of old tires, tin cans, buckets, drum, bottles or any water-holding containers.
-Fill in or drain any low places in the yard.
Keep drains, ditches and culverts free of weeds and trash so water will drain properly.
-Keep roof gutters free of leaves and other debris.
-Cover rash containers to keep out rainwater.
Repair leaky pipes and outside faucets.
Empty plastic wading pools at least once a week and store indoors when not in use. Unused swimming pools should be kept chlorinated weekly or treated with mosquito larvicide monthly.
-Fill in tree holes and hollow stumps that hold water.
-Change the water in birdbaths and plant pots or drip trays at least once each week.
Store boats covered or upside down, or remove rainwater weekly.
-Keep grass cut short and shrubbery well trimmed around the house so adult mosquitos will not hide there.
Only a constant, complete program to control mosquitoes will reduce the numbers, the nuisance and the danger of disease.
