Hey neighbors,

We’ve been dealing with an ongoing mosquito issue and have been working with the city to get it handled. They’ve come out and checked the area, but won’t move forward with mosquito control (spraying and traps) until we get breeding under control on our end.

Mosquitoes are already bad and it’s not even peak season yet, so it’s only going to get worse if we don’t act now.

Biggest issues are standing water and overgrown yards, especially in shaded areas and homes closer to the water. Even small items holding water can create breeding spots.

Please take a few minutes to:

• Dump any standing water

• Clear gutters and containers

• Keep grass and landscaping trimmed

If we all do our part, the city can move forward with treating the neighborhood.

If you don’t have the necessary equipment to keep your yard trimmed, a neighbor may be able to assist while you figure out a more permanent solution.  Reach out if you would like to get in touch with someone who may be able to help mow.

V/r,

Katy Coller
