Heavy Spring Rain & Flooding May Result In Increased Mosquito Activity This Summer

April 15, 2010

Due to the heavier than normal spring rains and flooding throughout New England and New York, your property may harbor hidden areas of standing water that will become perfect breeding spots for mosquitoes. Eliminating these areas now will reduce the mosquito population around your home during the summer and fall.

We all know mosquitoes are a pesky nuisance, but they can do more than simply ruin a backyard get-together. As carriers of serious viral diseases such as Eastern equine encephalitis and West Nile virus, they can quickly go from nuisance to menace.

Although it’s impossible to completely eliminate mosquitoes, you can significantly reduce their numbers by eliminating the conditions that promote them—gutters, window wells, even an empty flower pot sitting in the shade can become a potential breeding ground.
