NIMBY
Not in my back yard!

Mosquito Control Begins At Home:
Begin by denying mosquitoes a place to breed.

You might be part of the problem, 
Or you could be part of the solution.

If there are old tires, buckets, drums, bottles, or other containers holding water around your property, you might be part of the problem.  If you remove all water holding containers, then you will be part of the solution.

If there are stopped up drains, ditches, or culverts with standing water on your property, you might be part of the problem.  If you clean your ditches, drains, and culverts to allow water to flow, then you will be part of the solution.

If you have outdoor open trash containers that collect water, you might be part of the problem.  If you cover your trash containers, then you will be part of the solution.

If you have wading pools, bird baths, plant pots, or drip trays that contain standing water, you might be part of the problem.  If you empty these once a week and add sand to plant pot drip trays to absorb excess water, then  you will be part of the solution.

If you have tree rot holes, hollow stumps, or stump holes that hold water on your property, you might be part of the problem.  If you fill holes with sand or add mosquito larvacide, then you will be part of the solution.

If you have tall grass, weeds, or overgrown shrubbery on your property, you might be part of the problem. If you cut your grass short, trim weeds and shrubbery to deny adult mosquitoes  places to rest, then you will be part of the solution.

If your home has stopped up gutters and down-spouts that hold water, you might be part of the problem. If you maintain clean gutters and down-spouts, then you will be part of the solution.
