Prevent West Nile Virus
Is your backyard a breeding ground for the West Nile Virus?
- Green pools are typically neglected pools where the water is not filtering or moving.
- The stagnant water in these swimming pools can be a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes that carry West Nile Virus.
- A hidden leak may be causing reduced water circulation, or creating a chemical imbalance that promotes algae growth.
- Canadian Leak Detection can detect leaks that may be causing the underlying problem.
Drain or Dump
It can take as little as five days for mosquito larvae to incubate into an adult in stagnant water. They can even breed in an open discarded tin can. Remove all standing water around your property where mosquitoes lay eggs such as birdbaths, old tires, buckets, clogged gutters, or even puddles from leaky sprinklers. Be sure to maintain pools and spas, add mosquitofish to ponds, and flush out bird baths, outdoor pet bowls, and fountains at least once a week.
