Your kids are home from school for the summer, and it’s time to create some new memories in the backyard. Unfortunately, this is the time of year when you and your family can get eaten alive by mosquitoes and other household pests. When you are dealing with an infestation of mosquitoes, indoors may seem like the most logical retreat, but what most homeowners don’t realize is that when it comes to mosquitoes, treatment can often be as simple as a proactive offense!
If you’ve started getting that itchy feeling that something’s been eating you, it might be time to check for bed bugs. An adult bed bug is about 1/5 inch long and 1/8 inch wide, reddish brown to mahogany in color, with flat oval shaped-body. Bed bugs feed on the blood of humans and pets. After feeding, the bug’s body enlarges, becoming longer and much less flattened.
Now that spring is here, it’s time to open up the back door, and enjoy your yard! Whether you want to show off your skills on the grill, toss around the frisbee with your kids, or curl up on the chaise lounge with a good book, this is the best time to do it, before the punishingly hot summer begins. But if you ever have an infestation of mosquitoes, indoors with the air conditioning and the flatscreen TV may seem like a better plan.
