National Mosquito Control Awareness Week is here as warmer weather brings more mosquito activity. Mosquito bites cause itching, but they also carry diseases like West Nile virus.
You can reduce mosquito problems by removing standing water around your home. Mosquitoes lay eggs in still water, so dumping containers and draining puddles stops breeding.
When you go outside, apply insect repellent on your skin and clothes. This helps prevent bites and lowers your risk of disease.
What steps do you take to protect yourself and your family from mosquitoes? Taking simple actions now can make a difference throughout the season.
