Mosquitoes – Protect Your Home
The Town of Cottesloe carries out ongoing monitoring and management of potential mosquito breeding sites within the Town however individuals also have a responsibility to manage mosquitoes on their property.
You can reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home by:

- Keeping your lawns mowed
- Clean drain sumps regularly
- Clean gutters regularly
- Ensure flyscreen doors and windows are fitted and well maintained.
