Mosquito season is here, and with it comes an important reminder: these tiny pests pose a big threat. “Mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on earth,” says Brian Brannon of the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District.

From simple steps at home to community-wide efforts, here’s how you can protect yourself and reduce mosquito breeding in your neighborhood:

Prevent Mosquito Bites

• Apply mosquito repellent to exposed skin before going outdoors; reapply as recommended.
• Wear repellent clothing containing DEET, Picaridin, IR3535 or lemon eucalyptus oil.
• Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and opt for lighter-colored clothing.
• Dump and drain outdoor containers filled with water at least weekly.
• Close all unscreened doors and windows to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home or space; repair broken or damaged screens.

Eliminate Breeding Sources Around the Home

• Dump water from potted plant saucers as often as possible.
• Dump and drain other containers filled with water as often as possible.
• Clean and scrub bird baths and pet water bowls weekly.

With warmer seasonal temperatures accelerating plant growth, landscaping crews are prioritizing more frequent mowing. Residents can expect steady maintenance activity as crews work to keep up with seasonal changes.

Why Work Pace May Vary

While mowing and trimming will increase during this period, planting may temporarily slow in hotter weather to prevent stress on new plants. To maintain safe working conditions, crews may also begin work earlier in the day.

Avoid Placing Items in Turf Areas

Personal items should not be placed in common area spaces, especially in turf areas. Mowing around objects such as solar lights, statues or seasonal decorations is labor-intensive and may cause damage to both belongings and equipment. For safety and efficiency, crews maintain a 1-foot clearance around objects, and areas blocked by personal items will not be mowed or serviced.

To ensure proper maintenance and avoid potential damage, please remove all personal items from turf areas.

Mowing schedules are posted on TeamUp. Thank you for your understanding as this work continues to keep Village grounds healthy and vibrant.
