Macon Mosquito Abatement District
Share
Until recently, rain showers have been hard to find, but mosquitoes are still active. So where do we find mosquito larvae when common sources dry up? More often, man made items such as buckets, rain barrels, discarded tires, bird baths and abandoned swimming pools continue to hold water long after the last rain.
