Don’t Forget the Gutters!
Your roofline might be hiding more than leaves…
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are stealthy breeders. They don’t need a pond or puddle—just a few drops in the right spot. And yes, that includes your gutters.
💧 Here’s the sneaky part:
• Females glue their eggs to the sides of containers—gutters, toys, buckets, planters, even bottle caps.
• These eggs can survive dry spells for weeks or months, just waiting for water to return.
• They practice “skip oviposition”—spreading eggs across multiple spots to maximize survival.
🧼 Your move:
• Clean out gutters regularly—especially after rain or leaf fall.
• Check for clogs, standing water, and hidden buildup.
• Scrub surfaces where water collects—eggs cling tight!
Every container counts. Every drop matters. Let’s outsmart the skeeters and keep Jackson County bite-free from the roofline down
