How often do yard treatments need to be done?

Often every few weeks in the warm season.

Do parish mosquito programs cover my yard?

They treat the wider area; private service focuses on your property.

Mosquitoes in the capital region can be active from spring well into fall. Parish programs treat the wider area, but your yard still needs attention.

Mosquitoes breed in water that stands for a week: buckets, birdbaths, clogged gutters, tires and plant saucers.

Barrier treatments on shrubs, fences and shady areas where mosquitoes rest cut numbers down.

Regular treatments through the warm months keep yards usable.

Low spots, ditches and blocked culverts near a house can hold water after storms.

Repair window screens and keep doors closed in the evening.

Mosquitoes can carry diseases such as West Nile virus. Use repellent outdoors and follow local health advisories.

Keep pools circulating and consider fish or larvicides for ornamental ponds.

Floodwater leaves pools that breed mosquitoes for weeks.

Dragonflies, fish and birds eat mosquitoes, but in a wet summer they can't keep up on their own.
