How Our Mosquito Control Solutions Protect Local Lawns
At Lawn Doctor of West Lake County, we utilize a multi-faceted strategy to keep mosquitoes out of local lawns in the long run. An important step in this system is prevention, which will help you identify and address the factors in your lawn that can attract mosquitoes and provide them with places to multiply. We have several suggestions and key areas to monitor to maximize your mosquito prevention practices:
First empty water from these areas:
- Kids plastic toys – even the tiniest corner holds water that can be a breeding area
- Buckets, pails, watering cans and flower planter saucers
- Pet dishes should be emptied daily
- Bird baths should have a daily water change (I cheat and blast mine with a hose to wash out any old water and possible mosquito larva)
- Old tires, wheel barrows, garden carts and wagons
- If using a fountain or fish pond be sure it has good agitation
Tighten sagging tarps that cover:
- Boats, jet skis
- Woodpiles
- Patio furniture and grills
Prevent water from collecting by:
- Clean out gutter of leaves and debris – this is our #1 area we see people needing to address
- Ensure no water is pooling near gutter down spouts
- DO NOT USE corrugated plastic tubing for downspouts-mosquitos can breed in the little bits of water that sit in the corrugations
- Eliminate puddles from your AC unit
- Ensure that sump pump drainage area actually drains, there should be no puddling.
