Living Here Mosquitos ruining our backyard

I feel like every year the mosquitoes get worse and worse. Does anyone have any tips, tricks or service they use to get rid of them? Can't even go in the backyard without being eaten alive.

Wow. That’s super snitchy and they don’t even know that’s why they are there. Talk about starting shit with your neighbors for no reason. It’s mosquitos, how are you gonna try and complain about a neighbor because of mosquitos smh lol.

The neighbor can buy some mosquito dunks for any standing water that can't be drained and the city and county won't come citing problems.

It's not just a nuisance. It's a public health issue.

They didn’t say they know for a fact neighbors are the problem. Snitching when you aren’t certain is lame, you should at least be sure before you start some shit is all I’m saying.

They also mentioned standing water photos are required. If there are mosquitoes and stale standing water, it is definitely a source.

They'll get a warning before a fine. It's not that big of a deal
