while getting a lizard to eat mossies may be a good idea be sure
to eliminate their breeding sites around your home.
The dengue mosquito does not breed in rivers, swamps, open
drains, creeks or mangroves. These mosquitoes do not like to travel
far from mosquito breeding sites. The best form of control is to
get rid of mosquito breeding sites around the home. Dengue
mosquitoes breed in containers that hold water, such as:
*
buckets
*
tyres discarded with no rims
*
tarpaulins and black plastic
*
pot plant bases
*
vases
*
boats
*
tin cans and plastic containers
*
roof guttering
*
rainwater tanks with damaged or missing screens
*
birdbaths
*
striking containers (to grow plant cuttings)
*
drain sumps
*
fallen palm fronds
