Mosquitoes are carriers of various diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue, encephalitis, Chikungunya, West Nile virus, and the increasingly concerning Zika virus. They feed on humans by using their long mouthparts to draw blood. Although mosquitoes have other preferred food sources, including animals and livestock, they uniquely target humans for nourishment. Some species can lay hundreds of eggs in just a small amount of standing water, making even tiny sources a potential breeding ground. To help minimize mosquito populations, it's important to eliminate any stagnant water in your yard.
