Mosquitoes need standing water to hatch eggs, and this can be done in an area as small as a bottle cap or tablespoon of water. Mosquitoes don't need ponds or drainage ditches, they can hatch in places right in your back yard, like gutters, plant containers, or kid pools. To avoid helping these mosquitoes grow and hatch eggs, practice the 5 T's for a mosquito free yard!
1. Tip: Tip over items that hold standing water to avoid mosquito breeding areas.
2. Toss: Remove excess grass, leaves, etc. in your yard, these areas are prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
3. Turn: Turn over large yard items that hold water.
4. Remove Tarps: Make sure tarps are tight if they are stretched over something to avoid mosquito breeding grounds, try to remove sitting water every week.
5. Treat: This is where Mosquito Squad comes in, call us for a Barrier Spray program to help eliminate up to 85-90% of mosquitoes from your yard! This will help eliminate the need for you to use annoying bug sprays or those annoying bug bites.
