Mosquitoes are a Summertime Health Concern
Mosquitoes transmit serious diseases—including Malaria, Dengue, West Nile virus, Zika, Chikungunya, and Yellow fever. Eliminate standing water in birdbaths, planters, buckets, and gutters. Use larvicides in water that cannot be drained, (lily ponds or birdbaths.)

Maryland laws prohibit blowing or raking grass clippings and leaves into streets, gutters, or storm drains. This is considered illegal littering or dumping, violating municipal codes due to safety hazards and environmental damage.
