Take the bite out of Mosquitoes.

Did you know that your irrigation system can directly impact the amount of mosquitoes in your yard? By keeping your system well maintained you can in turn reduce the amount of mosquitoes flying around.

But How?

First ensure that none of the sprayheads are leaking, leading to standing water. Any water standing in the yard for more than 5 days is likely to start breeding mosquitoes.

Secondly make sure that your valve boxes and meter boxes are not full of water.

If they are, there are 3 things that are likely causing this, which can easily be rectified.

1. A spray head or rotor may be spraying over the valve box and therefore causing water to get inside.
2. Water run off from the ground will naturally pool in these areas.
3. The valve or meter may have a leak, which is often paired with the ground being soft nearby.

If you are unable to adjust the sprinkler heads to prevent them spraying into valve boxes or if the valve boxes are being filled by run off you can add a mosquito dunk into the box that will kill off the larvae.

If you suspect a leak, contact us and we can help you get it fixed and in turn reduce the mosquito impact of your yard.
