With summer approaching, it is important to understand how to prevent and control mosquito infestations around your home before they become a major issue. According to the CDC, mosquitos have the potential to transfer dangerous diseases and infections depending on what region you are in such as malaria, West Nile, dengue, and Zika viruses. 

It is always important to protect yourself and your family from these pests by taking preventative measures at home before they become an issue during the warmer months. 

What Can You Do to Prevent Mosquitos?

Peak mosquito season typically falls between March through September which is why it is more important during these months to monitor mosquito activity. Mosquitos tend to be attracted to areas such as:

• Standing bodies of water
• Wet mud
• Bushes
• Clogged drains
• Yard debris
• Bird baths
• Flower pots/beds
• Outdoor pet bowls
• Piles of leaves
• Overgrown vegetation
• Compost Piles

Regularly cleaning out standing water and maintaining a well kept yard are just a few of the steps recommended to help prevent mosquitoes from overtaking your property. However, if this is not enough to keep mosquitos away, Twin offers mosquito control treatments to fit your budget.
