Tick and Mosquito Management

Mosquitos are not only a nuisance pest, but occasionally can transmit viruses to people and animals.

Tips for Reducing Mosquito Problems:

• When clearing foliage and debris (i.e. eaves, fallen limbs, etc.) avoid the piling of material debris for long periods.
• Keep shrub foliage trimmed around the home.
• Remove standing water caused by landscape depressions or drainage by filling with dirt or sand.
• Recycle or dispose of tin cans or other artificial water containers.
• When removing tree stumps, where possible, fill with dirt prior to the development of standing water.
• Manage weeds in areas where adult mosquitoes congregate.
• Remove old tires when they are found throughout a property.
