Mosquitos are a nuisance that no one wants to deal with in their home. As spring approaches, mosquitos will be waking up from the long winter, so it’s time to ensure your home is protected from these pests.
As we expect more frequent rain showers this season, let our experts at Gutter Helmet® of Cookeville show you how an effective gutter protection system can help increase your family’s defense against mosquitoes.
Mosquito Activity
The mosquito life cycle is pretty straightforward. The eggs are laid in the water where they hatch into larvae. After a while, these larvae develop into pupae, which ultimately become fully grown mosquitoes. During mating season, you can find an abundance of adult mosquitoes buzzing around stagnant bodies of water, a favorite breeding ground of these annoying bugs.
Eliminating Standing Water
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in ponds and other areas where water collects. Generally, they tend to avoid rivers and streams, as the flowing water greatly reduces their egg-laying opportunities. Clogged gutters with stagnant water, however, present an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.
