Remember to follow the 5 T’s, Tip, Toss, Turnover,Top and Tarp


What we mean by the 5 T's, is to be sure to TIP any items that may be holding standing water,

TOSS any water in areas which may collect leaves and debris,

TURNOVER these very same items so that new water and leaves don’t begin to fall back into them creating a recurring issue,

note anything with a TOP to it, ie. where slight dips in rooflines exist water can pool, even tops of BBQs or your childs toy left outside, can all contribute to standing water, remember, it only takes a teaspoon for mosquitoes to have a breeding ground.

Lastly, remove all TARPS, they are notorious for holding pockets of standing water which again allows mosquitoes to breed and live right outside your backdoor!
