Mosquitos

Mosquitoes are not only the annoying pests whose bites can cause itchy, red bumps, but they are also dangerous, deadly disease carriers. Around the world, over one million people die each year from disease carrying mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are carriers of many vectors including: West Nile Virus, St. Louis Encephalitis, Zika Virus, Dengue, and Canine Heartworm. A single female mosquito in one lifetime can lay over a thousand eggs. Although it can feel like mosquitoes are everywhere, they are possible to control through proper pesticide usage and managing areas where mosquitoes breed and live such as stagnant water. Eradicating stagnant water where mosquitoes lay their eggs can drastically reduce mosquito populations.
