YOU CAN DO A LOT TO CONTROL MOSQUITOES AROUND YOUR HOME    

• Empty standing water in flower pot saucers, toys, buckets, wheelbarrows wading pools etc. Mosquitos can even hatch in the water left in the ridges of black corrugated drain pipe.

• Change the water in bird baths every 2-3 days.

• Drain water from tarps and other covers.

• Clean gutters and downspouts.

• Repair dripping outdoor faucets.

• Turn canoes and small boats upside down for storage.

• Check your yard, under decks and porches for anything that can hold just a few teaspoons of water and clean it up.

 There is a lot of good information available on the Calvert Co. website.
