The heat is rolling in… and so are mosquitoes! Protect yourself and your home this year with these seven helpful tips:
1. Check for overwatering. Clean lawn drains regularly and reduce or eliminate landscape irrigation run-off to the street.

3. Clean and scrub pet dishes and water features weekly.
4. Don’t go outside around dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
5. Wear insect repellent with EPA registered ingredients.
