Just a friendly reminder that mosquitos are laying their eggs in standing water now, and have been doing so since February. The eggs hatch into tiny larvae which look like small squirmy worms about the width of a thick hair.
With the recent rain there may be water in various containers around your yard. Please dump any standing water in buckets, etc., and treat your ponds and pools. Please look online for various methods — chlorine, a thin layer of oil, etc. City water containing chloramine isn’t enough. Fish can’t live in it, but apparently mosquito larvae can. We may be in for a little more rain, so please be diligent.
