No winter plus lots of rain equals mosquitoes galore.

The City of Dallas will help you prepare for the dreaded mosquito season with free mosquito dunks.

These traps attract mosquitos, which lay their eggs in standing water. The active ingredient, bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, kills the larvae, but the traps do not kill beneficial insects.

The city is giving away the dunks while supplies last at 3112 Canton, suite 100, and 7901 Goforth, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday.
