Keep Mosquito Populations Down
According to UGA Entomologist Beverly Sparks, "Mosquito control hinges on treating or eliminating breeding sites."
- Get rid of breeding areas. Empty any containers of water, and get rid of trash.
- Clean gutters; they can collect trash and water.
- Remove any old tires, or drill holes in those used for playground equipment to allow them to drain.
- Check tarps covering boats or other equipment that may collect water in pockets or indentations.
