To eliminate potential breeding habitats for mosquitoes: Clean your rain gutters to allow rain water to flow freely, remove old tires or drill drainage holes in tires used for playground equipment, check your yard for all types of containers that can hold water – store them inside or turn them upside down when not in use. Examples are flowerpots, wading pools, canoes and small boats, pet food and water dishes, wheelbarrows, etc. Check for trapped water in plastic or canvas tarps used to cover boats, pools, etc. Arrange the tarp to drain the water. Pump out boat bilge,r eplace water in birdbaths and in the bottom of plant holders at least twice a week. Flush livestock water troughs twice a week, Fix dripping outside water faucets. Check ornamental ponds, tree holes and water-holding low areas for mosquito larvae. Call Armor Pest Control if you find, or suspect, mosquito larvae are present. We spray to kill the adult, biting mosquitoes. By the time you see them, however, several hundred mosquitoes have already emerged from water sources as adults. It’s much better to stop them before that point, with a larvicide that prevents mosquitoes from developing. Armor Pest Control’s products are fully approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and are applied by trained, licensed technicians. They are specifically designed to target insects and only insects.
