More Mosquitoes Coming Your Way

Just what everyone does NOT want to hear... Big Mosquito Brood Hatched Overnight.  With all the rain we had the past few days and then the nice days we are finally having now, it is the perfect storm for mosquito hatching.  Mosquito larvae is found in areas of standing water, and once the weather warms up they are ready to hatch and wreak havoc on anyone standing in their way.  With all the rain we have had this spring, there are plenty of areas with standing water where mosquitoes have laid their eggs and are now hatching.  Kare 11 has the video and story here: http://www.kare11.com/news/article/1028866/14/Bust-out-the-bug-spray-Big-mosquito-brood-hatched

Mosquito Squad wants to help you from becoming prey to this new batch of mosquitoes!  We like to practice the 5 T's and pass it on to others so they can eliminate mosquitoes from their backyard:

1. TIP: tip over anything that might contain standing water, mosquitoes don't need a big area to breed and lay eggs, so reduce mosquitoes in your yard by tipping over sand toys, buckets, and change dog bowl water at least once a week.

2. TOSS: remove excess clutter such as grass clippings or leaves where mosquitoes like to hide.

3. TURN: objects should be turned over to avoid more standing water and to avoid mosquito breeding grounds.

4. REMOVE TARPS: make sure tarps or other coverings you have in your yard are tight, so they don't collect water when it rains.

5. TREAT:  Call the experts at Mosquito Squad! We can help you eliminate mosquitoes in your backyard so you can enjoy your time outside without always being swarmed.  When it's nice out, people want to be spending it outside and not worrying about getting bit and being itchy and red.  Give us a call today so we can help you fight against this big mosquito brood!
