Mosquitoes breed in standing water. Eliminating sources of stagnant water on your property reduces risk of mosquito nuisance. Rain gutters, old tires, stagnant fish ponds, open trash receptacles, tarp-covered wood piles that pool stagnant water are breeding sites. But, though you may take steps to clean up your property, your neighbor’s actions or inaction, or nearby wetland areas near your home may make subject you to mosquito problems.
