The best means of controlling mosquitoes is to deny them a place to develop. This is source reduction, the elimination of water from places where mosquitos lay eggs. Each of us has an obligation to make sure our properties are free of mosquito-breeding sites, such as stagnant ponds, poorly maintained swimming pools, tree holes, bird baths, buckets or other debris in which water accumulates.
Clean under bird feeders;
