MOSQUITO SEASON IS HERE!
With spring arriving, and warming temperatures in the forecast mosquito season has arrived! Mosquitoes are already active either as overwintering females or larvae ready to morph into their adult stage. Female mosquitoes will soon be searching for a blood meal, which they need for egg production. Soon after the eggs develop she will be in search of water on which to lay her eggs where her young (larvae and pupae) will grow. Standing water left by the wet winter and spring will provide a perfect nursery for them. Barrels, buckets, cans, bottles, tires, watering troughs, literally anything that will hold water is a potential nursery for mosquitoes. Eliminate mosquito-breeding sources around your house now before she can lay her eggs. Turn over containers that have collected water. Change outdoor pet and livestock water at least once per week.
The Camano Island Mosquito Control District is actively searching out potential breeding areas, mapping them and monitoring mosquito activity. As part of our monitoring program we also track mosquito complaints, set traps to collect adult mosquitoes, and participate in the Washington State West Nile Virus Surveillance program. Please call us if you’re having mosquito problems; It’s very important for us to know where the mosquitoes are coming from if West Nile Virus shows up in Island County; we’ll have a better chance at preventing it from spreading.
