Dos and don’ts


Mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant water and they hatch in 7 to 10 days. A single mosquito lays around 250 eggs, so if you have standing water in or around your home, you’re going to be in trouble! Also, think about that flower vase in your house. How long has it been since you changed the water? Or, the large flat bowl with petals. These could be breeding pools for mosquitoes. You need to change the water at least once a week. Don’t leave used clothes hanging around for too long. Hang few clothes on hooks.
