Understanding Mosquitoes

Because of the many dangerous diseases spread by mosquitoes, the World Health Organization has declared mosquitoes one of the deadliest animals on earth as millions of people die each year by mosquito borne disease. While we should be mindful of the health risk associated with mosquitoes, in our suburban retreat of Sandy Springs, Georgia, mosquitoes pose more of an irritation and inconvenience to our lifestyle.

There are 63 species of Mosquitoes in Georgia, but the main species of concern are the Culex Mosquito and the Aedes Mosquito.

Culex – The Culex Quinquefasciatus is also known as the Southern House Mosquito. This is the dusk and evening feeding mosquito that we are most familiar with. Culex Mosquitos carry West Nile Virus with transmission being the most likely in Georgia between August – September. Although most people in Georgia do not experience life threatening symptoms, there are a few each year that do.

Aedes – The Aedes Albopictus, also known as the Asian Tiger Mosquito is well established in Sandy Springs and is unique in that she feeds during the daytime. These mosquitoes can carry diseases as well, but they are most problematic as there is no daytime reprieve from their bites.

Homeowner Mosquito Prevention

To complete their life cycle, mosquitoes need water. By disrupting their life cycle, we can reduce the adult biting population. Most adult mosquitoes do not travel far from their breeding site.

• Empty all standing water around your property, including potted plants and the liners underneath them, tires, garbage can lids, tarps over boats and other equipment, toys that are kept in the yard, and fix any leaking faucets.
  
  
• Keep windows and screens in good repair.
  
  
• Get rid of yard debris. Unessential items in your yard create breeding grounds for mosquitos and other insects.
    
• Stay inside during peak mosquito season and time of day.
  
  
• Use an EPA approved insect repellent.
  
  
• Get your neighbors on board. A community wide approach is the most effective for controlling mosquitos.
