Residents Asked to Join the Battle Against Mosquitoes

Posted: May 17, 2018

The Morris County Division of Mosquito Control, a division of the Morris County Department of Planning & Public Works, has the goal of reducing the number of nuisance and disease transmitting mosquitoes within the county.

Homeowners can help control mosquitoes by making sure they do not have containers around the home that hold water. Buckets, gutters, bird baths, toys, tarpaulins and anything else than can contain water should be emptied or removed from the yard. Do not dispose of leaves and grass clippings in ditches, streams or catch basins. Make sure your screens are in good repair, and consider moving inside during periods of high mosquito activity (early evening and early morning).
