Mosquitos remain active through at least October– don’t let down your guard! The Health Department encourages residents to be vigilant about standing water that can accumulate in old tires, buckets, watering cans, flower pots, clogged gutters, plastic tarps, and outdoor toys. Larvae can mature in standing water within 7 days.
