Mosquitoes are small, biting flies with slender bodies and long beaks used to penetrate the skin. They usually have black, white, or gray markings along the legs and body, with two wings that are long and narrow. Mosquitoes breed in still, stagnant water – making a lot of the items around your home potential breeding sites, such as flower pots, bird baths, gutters, and toys. Not only are mosquito bites painful, but they can transmit a range of diseases, like West Nile Virus, Encephalitis, and dog heart worm.

• Eliminate areas with standing water once a week
• Keep gutters clean
• Remove any litter from yard – mosquitoes can lay eggs in small, discarded items that hold water, such as cans, bottles, wrappers, etc.
• Correct drainage issues, if any

• Dress in light colored, loose fitting clothing when outdoors
• Use GE yellow “bug lights” – these do not repel mosquitoes but, unlike incandescent lights, do not attract them
• Use citronella candles, although they only have a mild effect
• Place a large fan on decks or patios – mosquitoes are weak fliers
