The West Nile Virus? How can we prevent it?

Eliminate Standing Water. Of course Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, with all the winter rains we are experiencing we should start to look around to make sure we are not creating places for them to regenerate.

1. Remove anything that collects rainwater, such as cans, bottles, buckets, used tires, flowerpots, abandoned cars and boats.

2. Clean clogged roof gutters.

3. Cover garbage cans, uncapped hollow tile walls and fence pipes.

4. Empty and clean watering containers for pets and livestock at least once a week.

5. Check your screen doors and windows for rips and tears..and fix them.

6. Clean out flower vases and replace the water.

7. Spray mosquitoes with aerosol insecticides labeled for flying insects.
