Florence, AL – Mosquito Season and When to Take Action – Pest Control News

Did you know mosquitoes can lay as many as 300 eggs per fertilization? This pest is tiny but mighty, quickly multiplying each season and causing pain and grief to every victim of its callous bite.  The pest carries diseases such as West Nile Virus and Zika virus that can be transmitted to humans as they feast on their blood.

Mosquito season begins when outdoor temperatures consistently average 50 degrees F or above. In Alabama, this generally happens in early March, making this month the perfect time to take action against the pest.

How to Keep Mosquitoes Off Your Property

Following a few simple tricks can combat mosquito problems at your home:

• Avoid standing water on your property by regularly cleaning out bird baths, ponds, and fountains.
• Clean gutters regularly. Clogged gutters can cause standing, stagnant water that attracts mosquitoes and other pests.
• Keep grass trimmed since mosquitoes father in cool, shady places.
