What should we do to prevent mosquito breeding?
The steps to prevent the appearance of Aedes aegypti are the following:
- Eliminate unused containers that may accumulate water.
- Keep yards and gardens clean, tidy and weeded.
- Clean animal waterers daily, brushing the walls of the container.
- Fill vases and pot holders with wet sand. If this is not possible, wash them daily and change the water.
