What Florida homeowners should know
Mosquitoes can become active quickly after warm, rainy weather. A few routine checks around the yard can reduce breeding areas and make patios, play spaces, and outdoor seating more comfortable.
Helpful steps to take at home
- 1Empty water from planters, toys, tarps, birdbaths, and other containers at least once a week.
- 2Keep gutters clear so rainwater can drain instead of pooling.
- 3Maintain screens on windows, doors, and outdoor enclosures.
- 4Trim dense vegetation near gathering areas and remove yard debris that holds moisture.
