After a dry spring, we finally received much needed rain! But standing water around your home is a welcome breeding ground for mosquitoes. Take a few minutes to check around your home for standing water and toss it out.

Tip it. Toss it. Stop It!

🦟💧☀️🐝🦋We are thankful for rain this week in North Carolina! Wet and warm weather will bring more mosquitoes… and fogging that can be harmful to the environment and our health. Let’s stay ahead of it this season with strong prevention tactics! Eliminate breeding sites by dumping standing water around your home.
