Virginia Tech recently posted a revised fact sheet for mosquito control in yards and near dwellings. It deals with the most common mosquitoes that develop in small containers and standing water. Please follow this link: http://pubs.ext.vt.edu/ENTO/ENTO-202/ENTO-202.html
Fluvanna Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners (FCE-MG) volunteers can help you identify the mosquitos in your yard if you have concerns about disease-carrying insects. Mosquitoes to be submitted for identification will need to be adult stage and dead. If you have any questions, please contact VCE-MG at 434-591-1950, by the Contact tab at the top of this web page, or at any of our scheduled Help Desk sessions at the Fluvanna County Public Library.
We are a local chapter of the Virginia Master Gardeners Association.
