Precautions to prevent mosquitoes breeding and gathering:
● Empty all tins, jars, bottles, buckets, plastic bags and other containers that can hold water.
● Safely overturn anything you have outside that could hold water.
● Dispose of all old tyres, and drill holes in the bottom of tyre swings.
● Fill or drain hollows in the ground that could hold water.
● Cover venting pipes on septic tanks with mosquito-proof covers.
●
Seal or cover rainwater tanks.
● Keep swimming pools chlorinated and pumps maintained.
● Empty and clean pot plant saucers and drip trays.
● Empty and clean animal and pet drinking water containers.
● Check gutters and drains are clear of standing water and blockages. Clean them out if they hold standing water.
