Tip

Reduce standing water to eliminate mosquito threats, including those in children’s sandboxes, wagons or plastic toys; underneath and around downspouts, in plant saucers and dog bowls. Other hot spots include tarps, gutters, and flat roofs.

Toss

Remove excess grass, leaves, firewood and clippings from yards.

Turn

Turn over larger yard items that could hold water like children’s portable sandboxes or plastic toys.

Tarps

If tarps stretched over firewood piles, boats or sports equipment aren’t taut, they’re holding water.

Treat

Utilize a mosquito elimination barrier treatment around the home and yard. Using a barrier treatment at home reduces the need for using DEET-containing bug spray on the body. Mosquito Squad of Greater Kansas City & Lawrence eliminates up to 90% of the mosquitoes and ticks on a property.
