Mosquitoes in Full Force

 

Hey folks,

 

If you're in the Lewisville - Clemmons NC area, you might have noticed that the mosquitoes are out in full force lately. It seems like they're everywhere, buzzing around and making it hard to enjoy the outdoors.

Unfortunately, this is a common problem in the summer months, especially in areas with lots of standing water. Mosquitoes love to breed in stagnant water, so if you have any sources of standing water around your home (like bird baths or clogged gutters), it's a good idea to get rid of them.

Of course, even if you do everything right, you still might find yourself swatting away these pesky insects. So what can you do to protect yourself?

 

First of all, make sure to wear long sleeves and pants if possible, especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes in the Winston Salem, High Point and Greensboro areas of North Carolina are most active.

 

If you do get bitten, try not to scratch the bites as this can lead to infection. Instead, apply a cold compress or use an anti-itch cream to help relieve the itching.

While mosquitoes can certainly be annoying, it's important to remember that they can also carry diseases like West Nile virus, Heartworms, and the Zika virus. So take steps to protect yourself and your family, and enjoy the rest of your summer!

If you do have mosquitoes on your property in the Triad area of North Carolina, contact the authority in mosquito control Mosquito Squad. Mosquito Squad can help eliminate these biting bugs and keep your family and pets safe from mosquitoes and ticks.
