Scores of mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, source reduction can be as simple as emptying water from containers around the home. This is something that homeowners can accomplish without much difficulty. For example, homeowners can eliminate mosquito breeding grounds by removing unused plastic pools, coolers, old tires, or buckets; by clearing clogged gutters and repairing leaks around faucets; by regularly changing the water in birdbaths and by filling or draining puddles, swampy areas, and tree stumps.
Eliminating such mosquito breeding areas can be an extremely effective and permanent way to reduce mosquito populations without resorting to insecticides. Our technicians also advise housing societies on potential mosquito breeding sites during routine inspections that can then be acted upon by the management committee.
