Why Mapleton homes get mosquitoes

The glacial till and rich loam holds the moisture the pests need, the prairie, forests, and lake country offers shelter, and the humid continental climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Mississippi River and thousands of lakes and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.
