Combating Mosquitos

Mountain Mosquito - Mosquito Quick Facts:

Mosquitoes have been buzzing around for over 100 million years.

There are a staggering 3,500 mosquito species out there!
From egg to adulthood (and biting), it takes these little buggers about 4-7 days. They can't wait to start pestering us!
Only female mosquitoes bite; they require the protein from blood to lay their eggs.
Speaking of eggs, a single mosquito lays 100-300 eggs at a time, and in their lifetime, they can average between 1,000 to 3,000 eggs!
While a few types of mosquitoes may only venture a few yards from their breeding spot for a meal, most adults will travel a mile or two to dine.
Surprisingly, the mosquito holds the title of the deadliest animal on Earth, claiming the lives of 725,000 humans each year.

Why Mosquito Control Matters:

Mosquitoes are notorious carriers of diseases such as Zika Virus, West Nile Virus, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). While most folks experience the typical itchy red bump from a mosquito bite, some who are allergic suffer from "Skeeter Syndrome," which can result in blistering rashes, bruises, and swelling.

We're all familiar with how annoying mosquitoes can be when you're trying to relish your backyard and constantly swatting them away!

Mountain Mosquito Tips to Eliminate Common Backyard Mosquito Sources:

Mosquito season typically stretches from April to October. During this period, it's crucial to protect yourself when outdoors. Did you know that mosquitoes can lay up to 300 eggs in a tiny bottle cap filled with water?

Fight mosquitoes and other pesky insects by following these straightforward tips and tricks:

Regularly empty ponds, bird baths, fountains, plant pots, buckets, or any place where water may accumulate.

Clean out gutters to prevent standing water - check for clogs and damage that could cause water to pool.

Drill holes in tire swings, trash cans, or recycling bins to allow water to drain.

Maintain swimming pools and ponds by keeping them clean, properly circulated, and filtered.

Fix any leaky outdoor faucets.

Keep your grass and shrubs trimmed short, as adult mosquitoes like to rest in shaded, cool areas.

Maintain a weed-free yard and avoid overgrown vegetation.
