WTNH – Keeping Mosquitoes Away From Your Home
The owner and operator of Mosquito Joe of Gold Coast CT, Scott Shaw, joined News8 to teach everyone about mosquito control and steps to take for preventative care. In Connecticut, mosquito season typically runs from April to October. During this time we recommend protecting yourself when outdoors. Did you know mosquitoes can lay up to 300 eggs in a single bottle cap containing water? Combat mosquitoes and other pests by following these simple tips and tricks:
- Regularly empty ponds, bird baths, fountains, plant pots, buckets, or anywhere else that water may gather.
- Clean out gutters to avoid standing water – examine them for clots and damage that would cause water to collect.
- Drill holes in tire swings, trash cans, or recycling bins so water drains out.
- Keep swimming pools clean, properly circulated and filtered.
- Repair leaky outdoor faucets.
- Cut grass and shrubs short, as adult mosquitoes gather to rest in shady, cool areas.
- Keep your yard weed-free and avoid overgrown vegetation.
