What can YOU do:
Personal protection is the most effective way to combat mosquitos, especially for those 50 and over. Residents should take the proper precautions to reduce the risk of getting bites by remembering the Four D's: dress, defend, dusk/dawn, and drain.
- DRESS to avoid mosquito bites by wearing long, loose, and light-colored clothing when outside;
- DEFEND yourself by using insect repellents approved by the EPA or CDC;
- DUSK to DAWN outside activities should be avoided when possible, especially if one isn't dressed and prepared with repellent and
- DRAIN all areas of standing water in and around the home, including wading pools, pet dishes, and birdbaths
Residents should also reduce potential mosquito breeding areas within their yards and neighborhoods. Eliminate any standing water that collects on your property, for example, drain tires, cans, flowerpot saucers, or anything else that holds water. Make sure gutters drain properly and clean them regularly. Change the water in birdbaths at least once a week. Use BTI briquettes, or larvicide briquettes, in standing water. BTI is a biological control agent particular for killing mosquito larvae (available at home improvement and hardware stores).
