Why Afton homes get mosquitoes

The rocky and sandy loam that surrounds Afton is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what mosquitoes need to thrive.

Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the North Platte and Green rivers and lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
