Mosquitoes aren’t just a backyard nuisance in Fort Wayne—they’re a community-wide issue. With warm summers, plenty of standing water sources, and wooded areas, our region is a hotspot for mosquito activity. But the good news is this: by working together, residents can significantly reduce mosquito populations.
Here’s how you and your neighbors can take action—and how Mosquito Sheriff is here to help.
🦟 Why Mosquito Control is a Community Effort
Mosquitoes don’t respect property lines. They can fly from yard to yard, lay eggs in tiny amounts of water, and rapidly increase their numbers—especially after rainfall. That’s why even if you’re doing your part, a neighbor’s neglected birdbath or clogged gutter can bring the problem right back.
Reducing mosquitoes in Fort Wayne takes teamwork, shared knowledge, and consistent prevention.
🧼 Simple Steps Every Resident Can Take
Dump Standing Water Weekly
Buckets, toys, planters, tarps, clogged gutters—mosquitoes only need a teaspoon of water to breed. Make it a weekly routine to dump and scrub.Keep Lawns and Shrubs Trimmed
Overgrown vegetation creates shady, moist resting spots for adult mosquitoes. Keeping your yard tidy helps eliminate these hiding places.Use Mosquito-Repelling Plants
Planting citronella, lavender, and marigolds can add beauty to your garden and help repel mosquitoes naturally. Read more about mosquito-repelling plants here 🌿Install or Repair Screens
