Signs you have mosquitoes in Rupert

• Heavy mosquito activity in the yard at dusk and dawn — mosquitoes swarming near the patio, the deck, and the bushes.
• Bites on the family, especially after sunset — fresh bites that show up after time outside.
• Standing water near the house — birdbaths, gutters, plant saucers, and low spots that breed larvae.
• Mosquitoes resting on the walls and under the eaves — adults hanging in the shade during the day.
• Larvae in standing water — the wriggling larvae in any container that holds water.

Why Rupert homes get mosquitoes

The volcanic loam and sandy soil that surrounds Rupert is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what mosquitoes need to thrive. The the Snake River Plain, mountains, and high desert adds harborage, and the semi-arid climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Snake River and mountain reservoirs see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.

Prevention tips for Rupert homeowners

• Empty standing water every few days.
• Clean the gutters and the birdbaths regularly.
• Trim the vegetation where mosquitoes rest.
• Keep the grass cut short.
• Use repellent during peak activity.

In Rupert, the homes that stay pest-free are the ones that stay on the schedule.
