Weekend Reset: Lift and Empty Flowerpot Plates to Stop Mosquito Breeding
Flowerpot plates and dish trays are among the most easily overlooked breeding spots at home. Even a small amount of stagnant water is enough for mosquitoes to breed, and Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs there, which can develop into adults in just 7 to 10 days.
As part of a Weekend Reset routine, residents are encouraged to LIFT and empty plates and trays, then give them a quick rinse. This simple habit removes stagnant water before mosquitoes can complete their breeding cycle.
