Protect your Neighborhood from Mosquitoes - The Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District.In order to take control of the mosquito population, property managers, homeowner associations and all property owners share responsibility for their own neighborhoods.
2
To protect our residents from the diseases mosquitoes may carry, neighborhoods should be inspected for potential breeding sources.3
Here in the desert, mosquitoes look for manmade water sources to lay their eggs, just a bottle cap of water is all they need.4
Don't assume that your property and neighborhood does not have any standing water. Examine weekly for areas that can hold water.5
Some mosquitoes will lay their eggs in dry containers. The eggs can live for several years without water and will hatch when the conditions are right.6
When landscaping, new plant containers should be wiped clean of eggs and discarded immediately.7
Property managers should address residents’ neglected pools immediately.8
Rain gutters and lawn drains should be cleared of all debris and rubbish to make sure they aren’t holding water.9
Homeowner associations and property managers should speak with residents to address potential problems.10
Roadside gutters in front of homes should be swept weekly to prevent debris build up.11
Inspect low laying areas around the neighborhood that can hold water near garden sprinklers. Perhaps the sprinklers can be adjusted to prevent the pooling of water or the low areas filled in? Addressing these areas will prevent breeding.12
Catch basins are owned by – and are the responsibility of the community. These need to be cleared of debris regularly and commercially cleaned yearly
13
Mosquito fish can be placed in out of service pools, fountains and community ponds. They eat the mosquito’s larva and prevent neighborhoods from becoming breeding grounds for potentially disease-carrying mosquitoes. Mosquitofish are offered for free by the District.14
When disease management products have to be used to protect public health, there is the potential that mosquitoes can become pesticide resistant which is why it is so important for homeowners to eliminate breeding sources and reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases.15
The District cannot do it alone. We need all residents, HOAs and property managers to take back their neighborhoods from mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus, Zika, and dengue.16
We all live here in the Coachella Valley and want the best quality of life possible. Work with your neighbors to help prevent breeding sources and the spread of diseases.17
If you and your neighbors follow these guidelines, you will greatly reduce the risk of bites and illness from mosquitoes.18
The Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District is here to help. Please make mosquito prevention part of your weekly routine! For more information, visit C V Mosquito dot org. -
