The
mission of the LMCD is to provide safe, economical, efficient mosquito control to protect public health, improve enjoyment
of outdoor activities, and enhance business and tourism.
How You Can Help Fight Mosquitoes

standing water from old tires, buckets, toys, etc.
2. Empty and change the water in bird baths, fountains,
wading
pools, rain barrels and potted plant trays
at least once a week.
3. Drain or fill temporary pools with dirt.
4. Keep swimming pools treated and circulating.
5. Make sure window and door screens are "bug tight".
6. Replace outdoor lights with yellow "bug" lights.
