Mosquitoes

Did you know that your pets are in danger from getting sick from a mosquito bite, just like you are? Everyone knows that mosquitoes carry the Yellow fever virus, Dengue fever, Chikungunya fever, the Usutu virus, and (of course) the Zika virus. However, they can also carry things like Dirofilaria immitis, a parasite that can give your dog or cat heartworms.

Fortunately, most mosquitoes are weak flyers, meaning that they aren't going to venture far from the water that they hatched in. To prevent mosquito bites, remove any debris on your property that might fill up with rainwater and give a female mosquito a place to lay her eggs. Don't forget to check your gutters, too! And remember that we have a comprehensive mosquito service available.
