Flooding or standing water on your property? Keep mosquitoes in mind! Even small amounts of water can breed mosquitoes! Dump out all standing water. |
We
hope that you and your family are safe as we
weather these historic rain storms. Please keep in mind
that mosquitoes can breed year-round, even when it is cool and rainy.
Please check around your yard and home for any containers
holding water - dump out standing water to prevent mosquito breeding.
Check crawlspaces for standing water - water under a house can
breed thousands of mosquitoes. We're
here to help! Please report water that continues to stand 2 weeks
or longer after a storm, and always report mosquitoes. One of our
certified vector control technicians will assess the water to determine
if mosquitoes are breeding. Submit a report or service request using our online form or by calling 650-344-8592. Tell a friend or neighbor Your friend, shocked, when you tell them about all the great District services their tax dollars cover. |
