Mosquito Control

Mosquito control is everyone's responsibility, please do your part by preventing standing water from accumulating on your property.
Remove unused plastic pools, old tires, or buckets.  Clean your clogged gutters and repair leaks around faucets.  Fill in or drain puddles.  Remove or seal tree stumps that hold water.  Even a water filled bottle cap can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
For more information about mosquitoes, see link

Learn how to make a cheap and effective mosquito trap:
Cut a 2 liter soda bottle in half
Add 1/2 cup of sugar to bottom half
Add 1 tsp of yeast
Add some lukewarm water
Add some stones for weight if desired
Insert top of bottle into the bottom filled part
Tape around the seam  and place around your home away from where people gather.
