Mosquito Season Is Coming—and Maryland Exterminators Can Help
With winter comes relief from Maryland’s buzzing bloodsuckers, but mosquito season is just around the corner—and there’s plenty you can do to prepare for the spring and summer rush.
According to the Maryland Department of Agriculture, the majority of mosquito breeding takes place from the vernal equinox (March 20th) until slightly past the autumnal equinox (September 22nd), with activity peaking in summertime. When it comes to backyard and pool-party mosquito control, failing to plan is planning to fail, but our Maryland exterminators can help!
The first step is to target the four most common breeding grounds, which include:
- Standing water
- Yard debris
- Clogged gutters
- Drains
To eliminate, or at least reduce, mosquito spawning sites, consider:
- Eliminating standing water sources (e.g. upending wheelbarrows, bird baths, and old tires)
- Cleaning up yard waste
- Cleaning out the gutters
- Making sure that all drain are unclogged
- Mowing the lawn to reduce the shade and wind protection that tall grass offers larvae
But what if you’re a pool owner? How can you keep mosquitoes from turning that giant basin of standing water into a spawning pool?
