Mosquito troubles are not new to the Houston area, and in fact they have been an big ongoing problem for many years.
The Schenectady Gazette reported on August 27, 1964 that Houston residents were under serious attack by the bloodthirsty pests.
According to the report, “thousands of residents worked to eradicate female mosquitos blamed for 216 suspected cases of encephalitis – sleeping sickness- since May 12,” where 18 deaths from the disease had already occurred. At that time, other areas in Texas were not faring well against the pests either.
Fast forward to 2012 and add in the threat of West Nile Virus to the mix, and you can see why Houston residents have a potentially dangerous pest that is honing in on their flesh!
Here’s some tips to help eliminate mosquitosaround your home:
• Make certain that all standing water is eliminated outdoors as it will provide a breeding ground for mosquito larvae. Make certain to empty all buckets, toys, old tires, watering cans, trash cans, wheel barrows, etc..
The water in bird baths, kiddie pools, pet water bowls, and the like should be emptied a couple of times per week to eliminate the possibility of mosquitos multiplying by laying eggs in the standing water.
• Keeping grass cut short will help eliminate places for mosquitos to hide.
• Keep gutters free of debris will eliminate mosquito breeding grounds.
• Fill ruts and holes in the yard that can gather water when it rains.
