About 40,000 catch basins were treated with larvicide which kills immature mosquitoes and is the most effective control strategy.

Officials also said, “The City will continue its efforts to kill mosquito larvae before they can bite by applying larvicide in catch basins, marshland and other areas with standing water.”

In ponds, you can add fish, which eat the larvae, or apply pellets of Bti, a natural larvicide.
