Mosquitoes
With warmer temperatures and longer days days fast approaching, that means more mosquitoes. Mosquitoes need two things in order to complete their lifecycle and that is blood and water. In order to be bite free this summer residents are encouraged to be proactive in limiting water sources around their property.
Some helpful tips include:
reduce the amount of water used for irrigation
remove all water holding containers from around your property use CDC--approved insect repellents such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535, and oil of lemon eucalyptus
