Press release from the Miami-Dade County Government:
October 1, 2021
With the passing of the autumnal equinox on September 23, it is now officially fall here in Our County. This means there are at least several more weeks of warmer weather still in store for us. While we can officially say so long to the summer swelter, we cannot yet bid adieu to pesky mosquitoes. We don't really get that luxury in Miami-Dade, as mosquitoes are a year-round nuisance here.
Eliminate standing water around your home to prevent mosquito breeding Get rid of items in your yard that could collect rain or irrigation water Use an EPA-registered repellent to prevent bites Cover exposed skin with long-sleeved shirts, pants, socks and hats Use the larvicide Bti in dunk form for fountains, and granule form in bromeliads Refresh / replace the water in outdoor pet dishes and birdbaths weekly Cover windows, doors and porches with fine mesh screening, cribs with mosquito netting Periodically ensure that rain gutters are not clogged This press release was produced by the Miami-Dade County Government.
