Entomologist Taz Stuart warns that while spring mosquitoes are fading, the biting summer variety is surging, with females capable of surviving up to a month and laying hundreds of eggs. Though West Nile virus hasn’t appeared yet, it’s expected soon. Protect yourself with 30% DEET or 10% picaridin repellents, and eliminate standing water around your home—bird baths, gutters, even puddles can spawn hundreds of mosquitoes in days. Try mosquito dunks, a natural larvicide that lasts three weeks. Stay proactive: your summer comfort depends on it. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
