Mosquitos go through a complete metamorphosis: eggs, larvae, pupae and adults. Eggs are laid in standing water. As a home owner, check the gutters, making sure they aren't clogged. Eliminate accumulation of water in places like tires, cans, barrels, etc. Clean out bird baths once a week.

We have divided the recommendations between outside and inside mosquito control.

For outside control, we have a line of mosquito magnet traps, foggers, fogging material, insect growth regulators, residual insecticides and mosquito repellents.
