If anyone has been outside recently, they’ve bound to notice that a side effect of recent rains is the return of mosquitos…in a BIG way.  Tuesday, June 4, we’ve found is the night that the county is set to spray our neighborhood to reduce these pests.  We can do our part by eliminating water on our property by:

1.       Changing out water in dog bowls and birdbaths daily.

2.       Removing standing water from flower pots, children’s toys and areas in        the yard where it might be ponding.

3.       Buying mosquito dunks at the local big box store for use in water fountains and other decorative ponds.

Also, be sure and wear light colored clothing when outside near dusk or dawn and long-sleeves and pants, if possible.  Don’t forget insect repellent for yourself and children, with the exception of infants.
