Breeding sites that are difficult to access are kept clear with brush clearing work done when the time permits. Leaf dams are cleared from drainage structures after the fall. Site evaluation occurs to target sites for fish stocking or water management potential. Prior to the spring hatching, beehive locations are verified to avoid accidental exposure to honey bees during our adult mosquito spraying activities. Appropriate permits are pursued for the water management projects.
Equipment is maintained and readied for the next onslaught of mosquitoes.
Educational presentations are made at schools, etc. on mosquitoes and mosquito control. Any container holding water is a potential mosquito breeding source and is likely to cause problems around your home. Of particular concern are clogged gutters and scattered tires. Both tend to collect leaves, then fill with water and provide very attractive sites for mosquitoes to breed. Since these containers are water tight, they dry out very slowly.
