Signs you have mosquitoes in Lead

• 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 Lead homes get mosquitoes

The setting around Lead does most of the work. The loam and sandy soil holds the moisture the pests need, the the Great Plains, the Black Hills, and river valleys offers shelter, and the semi-arid continental climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Missouri River and 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.

Prevention tips for Lead 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.
