There are many instances where homeowners inadvertently breed mosquitoes in their own back yard. It may be surprising just how little water is required to breed hundreds of mosquitoes. Go through the following checklist and see how you may be contributing to the mosquito population in your neighborhood. Enough water can collect to produce mosquitoes. It is important to keep pools free of debris, especially small wading pools if not in use.
Pool covers can also hold enough water to cause a problem.
Keep water clean and chlorinated. These items can produce a very large population of mosquitoes. Store all tires in a shed or indoors. If a tire must be unprotected, drill holes in them so that they don't hold water. Keep free of debris and change the water at least once a week.
