Follow these guidelines to keep your rain barrels mosquito-free:
• Use a rain barrel with a mosquito-proof screen (fine mesh
1/16th of an inch) under the lid and a screen covering the
overflow hole
• Keep your rain barrel lid sealed
• Keep your barrel free of organic materials such as leaves
and debris
• Remove water that may have pooled on the top of the
barrel at least 1 to 2 times a week
• Consider the use of a downspout diverter to direct water
into the barrel
• Inspect the barrel on a regular basis to ensure that there
are no cracks or leaks and that all seals and fittings are
intact
If you suspect that your rain barrel is producing mosquitoes call us for help!
