Canals near residential properties in Yuma, AZ, are breeding grounds for mosquitoes, which can spread harmful diseases like West Nile virus. Installing mosquito traps along these canals will help protect our community from these health risks which affect not only family members, but pets and livestock as well. Safeguarding our homes from mosquitoes is a daily task which is hard to do when living in close proximity to a canal. It doesn’t stop with mosquito traps, the canals also need to be cleaned of debris on a regular basis to help in the prevention of mosquito breeding. Please sign this petition to urge local authorities to take further action in mosquito prevention in residential areas and install mosquito traps along canals and regular cleanings of canals near residential neighborhoods.
