PSA
1: What can you do to prevent mosquitoes from spreading West Nile
Virus? The most important thing you can do is to get rid of standing water
on your property now. That’s where mosquitoes breed. Don’t
leave standing water in outside pet water bowls, old tires, potted plants,
anything that holds stagnant water. Dump birdbath water and replace every
two or three days. Drain and cover unused swimming pools. Let’s
do it together and hit mosquitoes where they breed. Learn how at beyondpesticides.org/mosquito.

spread West Nile Virus? By working together. Prevent mosquitoes from breeding
now. Get rid of standing water wherever you find it on your property.

insect repellants. Discover why spraying for mosquitoes doesn’t
eliminate the threat and why it’s dangerous to kids and pets. Learn
