MOSQUITO CONTROL

Communications & Public Info Office from City of Austin has released the following information on Next Door North Shoal Creek under Fight the Bite, Day and Night

Mosquito season is upon us. Protect yourself from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry (e.g., Zika Virus and West Nile Virus). Mosquitoes can develop in only a teaspoon of water.

Remove the places mosquitoes breed:
• Check around your house and empty items that hold water such as flower pots, toys, tires, and birdbaths.
• Clean clogged roofs and drain flat roofs.
• Keep yards and shrubs trimmed.
• Fix outdoor pipes and leaky faucets.

And protect yourself from getting bitten:
• Keep full screens on windows or use air conditioning,
• Dress in light-colored, long-sleeved, loose fitting clothes.
• Use an EPA-approved mosquito repellent and follow directions.
