Let’s have a healthy neighborhood!

Please don’t invite mosquitoes to breed on your property so we can be free from both West Nile and the pesticide spray, Anvil. Image:Mosquito.jpg

It’s everyone’s responsibility to clean up stagnant water.

The city has already found West Nile in the mosquitoes in another neighborhood. Let’s keep a healthy neighborhood!

Please don’t let mosquitoes breed: • House gutters must be clean. • Anything with standing water needs to be dumped. • If you can’t dump it, the hardware store sells “mosquito dunks” which contain a bacteria (BT) which is EPA approved. We prefer using mosquito eating fish or removing the standing water.
