Aedes mosquitoes breed in small containers of standing water: buckets, plant saucers, tires, toys and clogged gutters. Their eggs can survive dry for months, so empty and scrub containers weekly.

Local help

Hillsborough County runs a Mosquito Management Program that does surveillance, larvicide and spraying, and takes inspection and spray requests. At home, the CDC rule still applies: dump standing water every week.

What works at home

Dump, scrub and turn over anything holding water every week.
Treat water you cannot drain, like rain barrels and ponds, with a larvicide labeled for it.
Fix torn window screens and use an EPA-registered repellent outdoors.

Supplies: mosquito dunks.
