Take precautionary measures against mosquito bites year round
Colder weather and high wind activity tend to slow down mosquito breeding and development, but they by no means drive them away entirely. As everyone living in South Florida knows, it won't be long until mosquitoes again become visible and resume their usual activity levels. Residents, winter is no time to let your guard down when it comes to mosquito control.
The County monitors 180-plus traps spread throughout urban and rural areas, responds to resident mosquito inspection requests and maintains a regular truck larviciding schedule throughout the year.
The threat of mosquito bites and the potentially serious diseases they may carry is real all year long. Follow some simple tips to protect yourself and your family.
- Eliminate unnecessary standing water. Discard any objects that may hold water and attract egg-laying mosquitoes including pots, pans, kiddie pools, tree stumps (fill with mortar) and rain gutters. Cover boats with secure tarps.
- Refresh water. Change pet water dishes and bird baths at least once a week to disrupt the mosquito life cycle.
Create a barrier to your home. Install screens for windows, doors and outdoor patios. - Cover up. Wear long-sleeves, pants, socks and shoes. Consider using mosquito netting to cover the bedding of children younger than two months.
- Treat bromeliads. Bromeliads hold water and create an ideal environment for mosquito breeding. Prevent the larvae from breathing by adding a few drops of vegetable oil or a spritz of non-stick cooking spray in the center of each plant.
