About Mosquito Bites; "Key points: - Female mosquitoes bite people and animals to get a blood meal. -Most female mosquitoes cannot produce eggs without a blood meal. - Male mosquitoes do not bite people and animals. - People react differently to mosquito bites." "Mosquito-borne germs: Mosquitoes spread germs (viruses, parasites) through bites that can make you sick. - Viruses like West Nile, dengue, Zika - Parasites like malaria - A mosquito gets infected with a germ when it bites a person or animal that is infected. - The infected mosquito can spread germs to other people or animals through bites. - Not everyone infected with a mosquito-borne germ gets sick."

Rodents commonly invading human environments include: 1. House Mouse (Mus musculus): Small, agile, and prolific, they contaminate food and spread diseases like salmonella and hantavirus. 2. Norway Rat (Rattus norvegicus): Large and aggressive, known for burrowing and structural damage, they can spread leptospirosis and bubonic plague. 3. Roof Rat (Rattus rattus): Prefers high places like attics, they damage wiring and spread diseases like typhus. 4. Deer Mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus): Rural invaders known for spreading hantavirus, they seek warmth and food indoors. 5. Squirrels (Sciuridae family): Occasionally invade attics, causing damage and chewing electrical wires. Rodent control involves sanitation, exclusion, and in severe cases, professional pest control. #Rodent_control #Pest_control https://lnkd.in/enGhYsai

Mosquitoes require only an inch of standing water to lay eggs. But just because you don’t have a pond or water source near your yard doesn’t mean your property is immune from a mosquito infestation. Consider water that pools in flower pots after a rainstorm, collecting around leaky spigots, hoses, kiddie pools, gutters -- any spot where water can accumulate at all is a potential breeding ground for mosquitoes.
