You can do many things to protect your family from mosquitoes. Remember the 3 D's: Drain, Defend, Dress.
DRAIN: Drain containers that hold water in and around your yard. By removing water, you eliminate places where mosquitoes lay their eggs. Make sure you drain standing water from the following:
- Gutters - Remove leaves and debris.
- Flowerpots - Pour water out of trays.
- Grill Cover - Ensure water doesn’t pool on top.
- Baby pool - Empty water every 7 days.
- Birdbath - Change water each week.
- Leaky faucets - Repair any leaks in faucets, hoses, or spigots.
- Tires - Drill holes in tire swings to allow water to drain.
- Trash cans - Keep lids on tightly. Drill holes in the bottom to allow for water to drain.
- Containers - Remove water collecting in buckets and toys.
- Ponds - Keep pools and ponds adequately treated.
DEFEND: Wear EPA approved insect repellent that contains deet, oil of lemon eucalyptus, IR3535, or picaridin. Always follow the instructions on the product label.
DRESS: Wear long sleeves, pants, closed-toed shoes, and avoid wearing perfumes or scented lotions.
Additional steps you can take:
- Place a fan nearby when sitting on your porch. Mosquitoes are poor flyers and cannot fly against heavy winds.
- Maintain lawns by trimming hedges, keeping grass cut and removing heavy vegetation. Mosquitoes like hanging out in shady spots and places where vegetation is thick.
- Keep grass clippings and leaves out of storm drains and catch basins. As the grass breaks down, the mosquito larvae feed on the organic material.
- Clean out your ditch to keep water flowing. Stagnant water creates a perfect place for mosquitoes to lay their eggs.
- Repair or replace your window and door screens.
- If you can't remove standing water, use mosquito dunks found at most hardware stores.
The Lawn Care for Cleaner Air program offers rebates on new lawn equipment to residents in Jefferson County. Proof of residency must be provided when purchasing new equipment, or when submitting a mail-in rebate request to the Air Pollution Control District. Failure to do so will result in not receiving a rebate. There are two ways to get the rebate:
- Purchase your equipment, then use the rebate request form to request a standard or bonus (with trade-in) rebate. If your request meets all the requirements, you should receive your rebate within 60 days.
- Participating dealers offer the rebates up front as dollars off the purchase price.
Call the Air Pollution Control District at 574-6000 or click here for more information.
Bloviate
Definition: To talk for a long time, typically about nothing important; to talk and go on and on and on, usually in a pompous way. When someone bloviates, he is speaking in an empty, pretentious, full-of-himself manner.
Used in a sentence: Many acquaintances, when they see each other after some time, will bloviate for several minutes, talking about miscellaneous topics in an effort to be polite or to impress each other.
“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." --- Eleanor Roosevelt
