PSA:
Free Mosquito Fish

Check out your local Vector Control Programs

Why you should use this resource:

1. Your tax dollars pays for this.
2. Chemical-free method to control mosquito population.
3. Mosquito Fish are hardy and adaptable.
4. Self-regulating & low maintenance.

How it works:

1. Call first to check locations that offers the free mosquito fish.
2. Go and ask for the free mosquito fish, they are supposed to give you 5, but most places will give you more.
3. Bring it home and put it into your pond.

With all of the wet weather everywhere, check for standing water because mosquitos only need a cap full of water to start breeding! Did you know a single adult mosquitofish can consume anywhere from 100 to 500 mosquito larvae per day.

We have several ponds on our property, so instead of going to the locations, I called the program directly and they delivered it directly to our home!
