It’s that time of year again. The mosquitos are feeling frisky and multiplying like crazy, but you can help stop their population growth. Rockland County Executive Ed Day says the Rockland County Department of Health has started treating catch basins and storm drains to prevent mosquitoes from breeding in standing water. Day says that process should be complete early next month.
Day says free Mosquito Dunks are also available at the Yeager Health Complex in Pomona. Mosquito Dunks are small, donut-shaped objects that float on standing water and release bacteria that kill mosquitoes before they can become flying, biting adults, designed for private swimming pools and spas. You can get them from the Health Department by calling 845-364-3173.
