Mosquito Control in Gregory, South Dakota

Signs you have mosquitoes in Gregory

• 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 Gregory homes get mosquitoes
