Should I be worried about stagnant water on my property?
Yes, any standing water is a potential breeding ground for mosquitoes and provides water to rodents. Potential sources of stagnant water are any catch basins that trap rain or sprinkler water, such as unused swimming pools, plant pots, old tires, empty paint cans, or just low spots on your property. Remove or cover anything that might retain water. Unused swimming pools should be drained.
