Mosquito Invasion

Nothing takes the fun out of an evening outdoors like a bunch of bloodthirsty mosquitoes biting you and your family. Mosquitoes pose a significant health risk since they can transmit diseases like West Nile Virus, Encephalitis, and the Zika virus.

These diseases can be transmitted through a single bite. It's important to identify and eliminate mosquito breeding sites around your property to help reduce mosquito populations. 

Here are some way to help minimize mosquitoes on your property:

• Keep your lawn and landscape pruned and maintained. Mosquitoes like to rest in areas that are overgrown and hold water.
• Keep your gutters clean and unclogged.
  
• Remove any containers from your property that are accumulating water.
• Change the water in birdbaths and wading pools at lease once a week.
• Treat any standing water around swampy areas or drainage ditches with a larvicide.
• Keep your swimming pool clean and chlorinated.
• Adjust your sprinklers to avoid over-watering.
• Improve drainage in areas of your landscape that do not drain well.
  
• Aerate ornamental water features to keep water moving and discourage mosquitoes from laying eggs.
