June 23-June 29 is Mosquito Control Awareness Week sponsored by the American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA) and the goal is to "educate the general public about the significance of mosquitoes in their daily lives and the important service provided by mosquito control workers." Living in Minnesota, we know how annoying mosquitoes get when the weather gets hot and we want to enjoy our time outside. Mosquitoes bother us and leave itchy, red bites that are annoying for a few days. But mosquitoes also pose a bigger problem that many people are unaware of. Many people are unaware that mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on earth, which surprises most people considering how small they are. But they carry dangerous diseases such as West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Dengue Fever, and Malaria. Although Malaria is not a problem in the United States anymore, around the world this kills millions of people each day.
To help protect you and your family this week and the rest of summer, we want to give you some tips to help control mosquitoes and protect you. Mosquitoes are active around dusk and dawn, so try to wear mosquito spray that contains DEET and long sleeves and pants that are light colored. Also, dump any standing water you have in your yard, as this is prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes and they usually do not travel far from their breeding areas.
Finally, give us a call to give you the ultimate protection. We offer a professional barrier spray that protects you and your family all summer long if you sign up for a season. These sprays last for 21 days and eliminate up to 85-90% of mosquitoes. Please give us a call today at 877-239-BITE (2483) so we can help control your yard during this Mosquito Control Awareness Week!!
