Control mosquitoes inside your home

Mosquitoes rest in dark, moist places, such as under sinks and dishwashers, in showers, in closets, under furniture, or in the laundry room. Mosquitoes that enter your home from the outside can start laying eggs indoors. Take the following steps:

• Once a week , empty and scrub, turn over, cover, or throw away any items that collect water, such as vases or flower pot saucers, to remove mosquito eggs and larvae.
• Use an indoor insecticide if you still have mosquitoes in your home after installing and repairing metal screens and emptying and scrubbing containers.

An indoor insect spray or spray will kill mosquitoes and treat their resting areas.

• These products work quickly, but repeated application may be necessary.
• Always follow label directions.
• Using only an indoor insecticide will not keep your home free of mosquitoes.

Hire a pest control professional to treat the inside of your home.
