Why Are there so Many Mosquitoes After a Storm?

Standing water is the biggest breeding habitat for mosquitoes so when storms like the ones we have had this year roll in mosquitoes are quick to find any standing water and start breeding!

This makes clean-up a nuisance but also can create a dangerous environment in your yard for your family due to the several dangerous diseases mosquitoes can carry.

These are the reasons why they become so overwhelming”

• Turn over all items that may be holding water.

• Toss all “yard trash” which includes grass clippings, branches, and other debris.

• Tarps. Make sure all tarps are shed of water and pulled tightly.

• Take care of your home maintenance, including keeping gutters clean and clear.

• Team up with your neighbors to ensure everyone helps keep the neighborhood mosquito-free.
