TIPS ON MOSQUITO CONTROL

The Burlington County Health Department and the Burlington County Mosquito Division

offer these tips on the controlling of the Mosquitoes around the home and communities.

There are 63 species of mosquitoes found in New Jersey, and not only are they an annoyance,

but some have the ability to spread disease. In light of the introduction of West Nile Virus through mosquitoes this past fall, it is time to take action and do your part. 

The single most effective way to control mosquitoes around the home

is to remove all standing water.

• Empty and discard empty paint cans, buckets, old tires, tin cans, etc.

• Change water in bird baths, fountains, etc. twice a week

• Clean clogged rain gutters - check them often

•  Aerate ornamental ponds ( water gardens ) or stock with goldfish.

• Empty watering cans, flower pots, ceramic pots, torn over wheelbarrows.

• Drill holes in bottom of recycling containers

• Landscape so that no water collects on property

 FOCUS ON BACKYARD POOLS

During the swimming season there are numerous complaints that are checked into by the

  Burlington County Health Department regarding stagnant swimming pools. They offer these

guidelines to control mosquito breeding in a backyard pool.

• Maintain swimming pools with appropriate chemicals and circulate water daily.

• Remove leaf debris regularly as leaves provide shelter for larvae.

• Maintain adequate chemical residuals.

• Use a biological pesticide in your pool if you will be away and cannot maintain the pool.

( i.e., Bti Briquettes, Mosquito Dunks )

• Do not let water accumulate in swimming pool covers - elevate covers in the center with flotation devices to prevent ponding.

• Remove or fill-in pools that will not be used.

• Empty or cover tots swimming/wading pools when not in use.
