MOSQUITO HABITAT CHECKLIST

WATER + 7 DAYS = MOSQUITOS

Use this checklist to help you find and eliminate all the places that mosquitoes breed around your home.  Any container that holds water can be a home for mosquito larvae.  After 7 days, larvae will emerge as adult mosquitoes.  Remember to stay vigilant and to keep containers free of standing water all year long.   

The primary strategy for mosquito control relies on an Integrated Pest Management approach that focuses on controlling mosquito larvae versus broad control of adult mosquitoes. Much of the effort is on source control-- reducing or eliminating the standing water where mosquito larvae live. This checklist can help you do your part to control mosquitoes in your landscape.
