Getting rid of mosquitoes: start with standing water

Mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water, and cutting off breeding solves the problem at its root:

• Empty plant trays, basins and buckets weekly.
• Cover water tanks and fix leaks.
• Install screens on windows and doors.
• Clean drains and cut tall grass.

For gardens and larger areas, professional perimeter treatment gives longer-lasting results.

When to call a professional

• The problem returns after cleaning
• You see the pest by day or in large numbers
• There are children, allergies or pets at home
