In many places across the country, annoying, biting mosquitoes disrupt the peace and pleasure of a pleasant afternoon outside. It can be a real nuisance and can damage many outdoor plans and activities. What many people do not realize is that many of these mousticides can also be transmitted to human beings and to animals with a variety of diseases. Some mosquitos can transmit diseases that result in far more than an itchy rash, depending on the species type. In some areas of the country, one such species will come soon, with forecasts of widespread activity in this summer. You need to call for a mosquito treatment immediately to keep yourself safe.

There Has Been a New Threat

A new mosquito species, Aedes scapularis, has been identified by scientists and can transmit several malignant diseases. Residents in certain areas of the country are warned that this new species can transmit conditions such as yellow fever virus, Venezuela's equine encephalitis virus, dog's heartworm and other diseases. At the present time, this non-born mosquito is wide-ranging, from Texas to parts of South America and Oklahoma.

It has also become widely spread in several counties in South Florida and experts forecast that many other areas may be very well adapted to grow and multiply species. In the process of modelling the ecological niche, researchers identified 16 counties in Florida as "highly suitable" by means of a machine-learning algorithm prediction for the potential distribution of species across regions. Other areas such as Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and parts of South Carolina could potentially be used as breeding grounds for the spread of the species.

Recommended increased awareness and monitoring

Researchers suggest taking further precautions when going out for spring and summer months as a result of these findings. The repulsion of mosquitoes by bug sprays and candles can do much only. Here are other tips to prepare you for future, mosquito-heavy months that are easily followed:

Maintain pruned vegetation.
Remove all water that is standing.
Avoid using dark night colors.
Keep your pets in the evening.

Heavy vegetation is an ideal insect environment. Maintain plants and shrubs regularly cut to help reduce your backyard insect population. The same applies to all standing waters – the habitat that is most favorable for mosquitoes. Check the backyard for areas in which water can accumulate and, if possible, eliminate it. You can avoid wearing colors that are more likely to attract mosquitoes when outside especially during dust and evenings. And finally, at night, try to keep animals inside. Pets left out overnight are susceptible to mosquito bites that can transmit diseases such as coronary heart.

Take your backyard's control

Many homeowners have become annual rituals when dealing with mosquitoes in spring and summer. Mosquitoes, even those with no harmful diseases, can perturb a calm, pleasant spring or summer break by driving both people and livestock to refuge. But as the weather gets warmer, everyone wants the summer activities that we have missed in the winter months to be outdoors. Don't keep you in this season threatened by mosquitoes. It’s the high time to call Mother Nature’s Pest & Lawn in OKC for mosquito treatment. Book a schedule right away.
