Pest Organisms / Yellow Fever Mosquito
Prevention
The core homeowner job is denying the mosquito water. Empty or discard cans, bottles, and buckets that pool water, and in summer rinse out bird baths and bromeliads every three to four days. Source: https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/in1045 Source: https://ipm.ucanr.edu/home-and-landscape/mosquitoes/
Clear leaf litter from roof gutters so they drain, and drill drainage holes in old tires or haul them away. Even a capful of water can rear larvae, so a weekly walk-around to tip out containers pays off. Source: https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/in1045 Source: https://ipm.ucanr.edu/home-and-landscape/mosquitoes/
For personal protection, repair torn window and door screens, cover exposed skin, and apply an EPA-registered repellent such as DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535. Source: https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/in1045 Source: https://ipm.ucanr.edu/home-and-landscape/mosquitoes/
