Town of Hampton DRAGON MOSQUITO CONTROL INC Town of Hampton Activity Report April 2020 Date Activity DRAGON MOSQUITO CONTROL INC. APRIL 2020 UPDATE Due to Covid-19, daily life has changed for everyone. Here at Dragon, we're focused on the health and well-being of our employees and customers in a new way. There are a number of measures taken to ensure we safely get through this new reality while continuing to effectively serve municipalities. We will continue to improve and adjust these procedures as we do our best to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and adapt them to our work requirements. The threat of mosquito-borne disease is still on the horizon for this summer. Our work is much the same as in years past but we now operate contact-free. We won't knock on doors or leave paperwork for homeowners after house calls. Residents are welcome to speak with the crew when you see them in the field but please maintain the recommended six-foot physical distance. We're happy to communicate with you by phone or email too. After the NH State Special Permits were received and activated in April, Dragon crews began checking marshes, swamps, woodland pools and other wetlands for mosquito larval activity. When mosquito larvae are found, crews treat the water with a naturally occurring bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti). Bti breaks down quickly in sunlight and will not harm people or their pets, animals, aquatic life, or other insects, including honeybees. Longer days, daffodils, peepers and black flies outline our progression into spring. Black flies are out now and we know mosquitoes are soon to follow. April showers provided an abundance of mosquito habitat this year. Homeowners should be checking for and eliminating the places where mosquitoes may lay their eggs by emptying any containers that hold water such as buckets, wheel barrows, pool covers, tarps, toys, trash barrels, dog bowls and boats. Cleaning out clogged rain gutters or emptying your bird bath every few days will also make a difference. The CDC provides additional information at https://www.cdc.gov/features/stopmosquitoes/.

Mosquitoes that hatch in the spring, while a nuisance, do not carry Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) or West Nile Virus. Some years, West Nile virus and EEE activity can be detected as early as July. The good news is that mosquitoes do not transmit Covid-19. We have included an information sheet to provide information about what makes Covid-19 different from the viruses that mosquitoes transmit. Whether it's Covid-19 or disease spread by mosquitoes, personal protection is always the best defense. We hope everyone stays safe.

No. Relieved? So go ahead and start thinking about how to enjoy your back yard more this summer. You will find the same advice provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). But isn't West Nile a virus? Yes it is. And, mosquitoes spread West Nile, along with many other viruses including EEE (Eastern Equine Encephalitis), Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya and Malaria. They cannot spread Covid-19 though. Why? The simple answer is some viruses can replicate inside the mosquito. Covid-19 is not one of them. West Nile on the other hand, can replicate inside a mosquitoes. So when a female mosquito West Nile bites you, the virus is passed along too. People pass it, not mosquitoes. Covid-19 spreads mainly from person-to-person by very small droplets that become airborne when an infected person coughs or sneezes. That is why the CDC strongly urges to stay at least 6-feet from others during this time to blunt the spread. Also, those same droplets can land on surfaces, or be transferred from an infected person to commonly touched surfaces — like that credit card pin pad we all touch at the gas station or grocery store. And that is why you should avoid touching your mouth, nose and eyes. 03/21/20 New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Dragon Mosquito Control — Town of Hampton SP-102, March 23, 2020 Page of 8 Markets & Food March 23, 2020 Shawn N.

  • Care, Maintenance & Winterizing
    Care, Maintenance & Winterizing - Fountains, Pottery, Statuary & Bird Baths Fountain Care & Maintenance Always operate your fountain with the pump fully submersed in water. Do not let pump run dry. Low water levels in your fountain may cause pump burnout. You will need to add water daily due to the design, wind, evaporation and splash. Fountain should be turned off anytime you plan on being gone for several hours. Keep fountain clean. Remove leaves and debris that may enter the fountain. Do not use a chlorine based product to control the growth of algae; they can damage the fountain’s finish. Use a less harsh water clarifier and algaecide that can be purchased from your local garden center or swimming pool supply store. Products that contain natural enzymes which safely break down organic contaminates can also be used. Natural enzymes are not a chemical and may take longer to work but are safe for pets and wildlife. Follow the directions printed on the bottle. Before adding any product to your fountain, always start with fresh clean water. Aquatic plants and fish are not recommended in your fountain. Plant roots will clog the pump and most ornamental fountains are not deep enough to support fish. In both cases there will be extra cleaning. Winterize before first frost 1. If your fountain has a copper fountain ring, disconnect it and store indoors. There is water in the copper ring so be careful not to get wet when you remove. Copper rings are highly sensitive to winter weather and the elements. The spray heads are very fragile.

  • Rain Gardens for Home Landscapes
    fold - fold - What Is a Rain Garden? RAIN GARDENS FOR Rain gardens are beautiful natural landscape features that require less maintenance and fewer chemicals than lawns. Rain gardens capture runoff from impervious areas such as roofs and driveways and allow it to seep slowly into the ground. Most importantly, rain gardens help preserve nearby streams and lakes by reducing the amount of runoff HOME LANDSCAPES and filtering pollutants. Why Plant a Rain Garden? Rain gardens provide for the natural infiltration of rainwater into the soil. This helps to filter out pollutants including fertilizer, pesticides, oil, heavy metals and other chemicals that are carried with the rainwater that washes off your lawn, rooftop and driveway. Rain gardens also reduce peak storm flows, helping to prevent stream bank erosion and lowering the risk for local flooding. By collecting and using rainwater that would other- wise run off your yard, rain gardens allow you to have an attractive landscape with less watering. How Do Rain Gardens Work? A rain garden receives runoff water from roofs or other impervious (hard) surfaces such as driveways. The rain garden holds the water on the landscape so that it can be taken in by plants and soak into the ground instead of flowing into a street and down a storm drain or drainage ditch. The plants, mulch and soil in a rain garden combine natural physical, biological and chemical processes to remove pollutants from runoff. Many pollutants will be filtered out and break down in the soil over time. Water should stand in a rain garden no longer than 24 hours after the rain stops.

  • For the Birds Among the Fondest and Most Memorable Moments of Childhood Are the Discoveries of Songbirds Nesting in the Backyard
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service For the Birds Among the fondest and most memorable moments of childhood are the discoveries of songbirds nesting in the backyard. The distinctive, mud-lined nests of robins and their beautiful blue eggs captivate people of all ages. Likewise, the nesting activities of house wrens, cardinals, chickadees and other common birds can stimulate a lifelong interest in nature. Introduction As you learn to enjoy the beauty of birdlife around their home, you may wish to improve the “habitat” in your yard so that more birds will visit your property. You can attract birds by placing bird feeders, nest boxes, and bird baths in your yard, and by planting a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers. These can provide good nesting sites, winter shelter, places to hide from predators and natural food supplies that are available year-round. Backyard bird feeding is a convenient way to enjoy wildlife. More than 65 million Americans of all ages watch, feed and landscape for birds. It doesn’t matter where you live—in an apartment, townhouse or single family dwelling, in the city, suburbs or country. Just stand still and you’ll hear them: wild birds. It is hard to imagine life without them. Bird watching is one of the fastest growing forms of outdoor recreation in the country. Each year millions of people discover for the first time the joys of birdwatching. It’s easy to understand why. Birds are fun to watch. And you can watch them just about everywhere. The most convenient place to start is right in your own backyard.

  • BIRD OBSERVER 192 Vol. 23, No. 4,1995 BIRDING in DARTMOUTH and WESTPORT DURING FALL and WINTER
    BIRD OBSERVER 192 Vol. 23, No. 4,1995 BIRDING IN DARTMOUTH AND WESTPORT DURING FALL AND WINTER by Michael A. Boucher Dartmouth and Westport, Massachusetts, are great places to bird throughout the year. This article will discuss where to find specific species during the fall migration and winter along coastal habitats including beaches, salt marshes, coastal thickets, and woods. Start from Interstate 195 east of Fall River, and take Route 88 south for eleven miles through Westport. Park safely along the road as soon as you pass the entrance to Horseneck Beach. Look toward the east, and you will see a large salt marsh with Osprey platforms, which have been erected over the years by Jo and Gil Fernandez. This is a good spot for lingering Ospreys in the fall. Continue about two miles, and take a right onto East Beach Road. After a short distance, you will come to a causeway that brings you to Gooseberry Neck. While crossing the causeway, look to your right at the large rocky formation just offshore. You may occasionally find Harlequin Ducks here in the winter. Gooseberry Neck is a seventy-five acre island with a rocky shoreline and a small sandy beach. Its vegetation consists of beach rose, bayberry, sumac, and American beach grass, with a few cedar trees toward the middle of the island. One main path cuts through the center of the island, and a number of short paths branch off allowing access to the shoreline. The last week in August and the entire month of September can be quite productive for shorebirds.
