Mosquitos? They require stagnant water. Do people in power worry that rubbish in the lawn will harbour water? (I do not have mosquitos where I live)

(I do not have mosquitos where I live)
- thegginthesky 5y agoDepends on the location. Southern states in the US and many countries in Latin America have strict rules against rubble that accumulates still water, and you can even get fined if you have a pool and don't keep it clean and treated. West Nile virus and Dengue virus are serious health hazards transmitted by mosquitoes, and many places try to contain it.
- honksillet 5y agoIn mosquito environments limiting lawn height definitely helps.
- worik 5y agoI do not doubt you. But I would like to know why?
- rdedev 5y agoPurely anecdotal but i used to live in a mosquito heavy country. What I've noticed is male mosquitoes tend to hand around densly packed tall plants. Especially under the leaves. Not sure if tall grass also have the same effect
- giantg2 5y agoThe tall grass gives them a place to hide. In theory they can even use small amounts of water under the tall grass to reproduce (the tall grass prevents evaporation that would happen with shorter grass).
