This recent abundance of rain, warm weather and this being Georgia has sparked all whole hosts of dormant eggs into hatching. By the millions, adult mosquitoes have descended upon Georgians all across the state.

“As long as these mosquitoes keep laying eggs our problem will continue,” said Elmer Gray, an entomologist with the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.

Georgia is home to 63 mosquito species. To control these blood sucking critters, bottom line eliminate the standing water. Water than cannot be eliminated should be treated with larvaecides along with spraying the shrubbery around your homes with an insecticide every 10 to 14 days until the blood sucking critters move out.
