Spring Cleanup Includes Mosquito Prevention
When you are doing your outside spring cleanup remember to reduce stagnant water where mosquitoes like to breed. Drain water regularly from old tires, plastic containers, wading pools, wheelbarrows and clogged rain gutters. Change the water in bird baths weekly and put screens on rain barrels to keep mosquitoes out. By reducing the mosquitoes in your back yard you can protect yourself and your family against West Nile virus.
