Mosquito Control in Del Oro

Pinellas County handles our mosquito control and has treated the swales in the park and a few yards. But they suggested a few steps to allow us to keep them from breeding in our yards. Of course, the salt marsh mosquito found in Cooper Bayou and the marshland around the bayou County with regular fogging. They also fog our neighborhood when the new medical school calls in a complaint.
But we have fresh water mosquitoes breeding now. One of the common breeding areas are bromeliads. A single bromeliad can house 100 mosquito larvae!! And they are day biters so fogging does not kill them. Here are a few things you can do to keep the plants but kill the mosquitoes.

Spray the flying insects with regular flying insect killer.
Hose the plant to wash off larvae.
Spray the plant with plain old vegetable oil.
Fertilize to replace all of the nutrients you washed away.

Also walk your yard to see if you have any of these points where water can collect. If so, drain them and your mosquitoes will die off.
