SUMMER is officially here – and so are mosquitoes! 🦟 But they don’t have to ruin your outdoor fun!

Homegrown National Park offers six easy ways to control mosquitoes without harming the environment:

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Invite Natural Predators: Build a healthy habitat for dragonflies, birds, and bats that eat mosquitos.
                  2. Build a Mosquito Trap: Try a DIY Mosquito Bucket – easy directions found at the website.
                  3. Dump Standing Water: Empty clogged gutters and plant saucers.
                  4. Treat Permanent Standing Water: Use Mosquito Dunks in birdbaths, rain barrels, and ponds.
                  5. Protect Yourself: When outdoors, use fans, protective clothing, and repellents.
                  6. Spread the word: Coordinate with your neighbors for maximum impact!

💚 Help C.A.R.E. today! 💙

Sip & Chat will return in September – Sundays before church at 10am! 🙂
