Mosquito Abatement Tip
Mosquitoes require standing water to complete the early stages of their life-cycle. Mosquito larvae develop in water for several days to a few weeks before emerging as adults. You can help control the mosquito population by interrupting the life-cycle through eliminating unnecessary standing water and ensuring that desirable standing water is treated with mosquito control products. Visit www.sslvmad.org for more information about mosquitoes and mosquito control.
