TIPS provided FOR MOSQUITO PREVENTION

With summer around the corner, the city of Henderson is offering tips for homeowners to protect themselves from pests such as mosquitoes.

The city recommends that people eliminate potential water sources, such as puddles that habitually return or leaky outdoor faucets, which could serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

The city also suggests monitoring outdoor recycling containers, gutters, pools, ornamental ponds and drainage areas that might collect water.

Mosquitoes prefer slow-moving water in which to lay eggs.
