Many customers are asking me if I think this year's mosquito season will be easier since we had such a hard winter. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a hard freeze doesnt' kill mosquitoes...at least enough of them to make a difference. Which is why the Dallas County Health and Human Services kicked off its West Nile virus awareness campaign before county commissioners earlier than ever for the 2014 season. This year, county health officials are anticipating more West Nile cases (because the rules for diagnosing the disease have changed.) In today's quick tip I'll offer up some helpful tips to help you reduce mosquitoes in your yard. If we start early we can reduce the abundance of mosquitoes which will reduce the likelihood of having increased numbers of West Nile cases. Not to mention less mosquitoes will give you the freedom to enjoy your yard this season. Click here to read today's quick tip. I've also compiled a list of helpful links to some North Texas mosquito control websites.
