A Mosquito Tours Your Backyard
Think your backyard is a relaxing retreat? To mosquitoes, it's prime real estate. In this episode of Backyard Hot Spots, NPMA explains what’s attracting mosquitoes to your home and the simple steps you can take to dramatically reduce mosquito activity around your home.
From standing water in flowerpots and grill covers to clogged gutters and low-lying lawn puddles, mosquitoes only need half an inch of water to breed. Learn where the hot spots are, when mosquitoes are most active and how to protect your family all summer long.
Mosquitoes are considered the deadliest animal in the world. According to the CDC, by “spreading diseases like dengue, West Nile, Zika, chikungunya, malaria, and lymphatic filariasis, the mosquito kills more people than any other creature in the world.” Here in the U.S., they can spread serious diseases, including West Nile virus, eastern equine encephalitis and other dangerous illnesses, that pose real risks to your family and pets.
Protect yourself from mosquito threats and take back your backyard by reducing sources of standing water around your property and using our zip code locator to find a licensed pest control professional near you.
