Warm weather is here, and so are the mosquitoes. Let’s review some inspection and treatment tips:

  • Mosquitoes like places that are dark and humid. Look for them under sinks, in laundry rooms, in basements near water pipes, under furniture and in closets.
  • Check door and window screens and frames for holes or gaps. Seal them immediately to keep out mosquitoes and other pests.
  • Outdoors, empty anything that might hold water. Cover any and all outside containers — no exceptions.
  • Check for a septic tank. If your customers have these tanks on their properties, make sure they repair any cracks or gaps on the external lid. They also need to cover any open vents or plumbing pipes.
