DUMP, DRAIN &
DEFEND!
On September 1, 2021, another 4-6 inches of rain
fell across Warren County. We are asking
for your help to reduce the potential mosquito populations that could hatch due
to this rainfall. The easiest way to eliminate mosquitoes is to get rid of standing water
around your home and neighborhood.
Please help us help
you. It is not possible for the
Mosquito Commission to go through each yard.
Our nighttime treatments only kill the mosquitoes flying at that
time. Check your yards and neighborhoods
for anything that holds water. Dump the
water from containers, such as buckets, kiddie pools, and plant saucers. Drain
standing water from tarps and pool covers.
Recycle tires and other containers properly. Keep lids on recycling and trash cans. Bird
baths and pet dishes should be scrubbed weekly to eliminate mosquito eggs. Clean
up trash in your neighborhood. Our
staff is out daily treating natural mosquito habitats and we are asking for
your help with the manmade habitats!
Defend yourself from mosquito bites by wearing repellent and
securing window and door screens. If
one repellent does not work for you, try one with a different active
ingredient. Check the Centers of Disease
Control website https://www.cdc.gov/zika/prevention/prevent-mosquito-bites.html
for information about EPA approved repellents For more information please
