Candler Park pest control FAQ

Can mosquito control be pollinator-friendly?

Yes. Source reduction comes first, larvicides go only where water can’t be removed, and any adult treatments target shaded resting sites, applied as labeled and away from blooms.

Do rain barrels breed mosquitoes?

They can if the lid or screen has gaps. Keep a tight lid or fine mesh over every opening, including the overflow, and check it after storms.

Is compost a rodent magnet?

Open piles with food scraps can be. Use an enclosed bin, keep meat and dairy out, and don’t let birdseed pile up on the ground.
