Mosquito season is upon us. But you can help prevent bites! Here are some steps you can take to help reduce mosquito populations and prevent bites:
- Cover trash containers to keep out rainwater.
- Get rid of old tires, buckets, bottles or any items in your yard that may hold water.
- Change the water in bird baths, watering cans, plant pots and drip trays at least once a week.
- Keep grass cut short and shrubbery well-trimmed around your house so adult mosquitoes will not hide there.
- Wear mosquito repellent when heading outdoors.
