Don’t forget that leafy and debris filled gutters hold enough moisture to create a veritable mosquito ranch, not to mention becoming a haven for roaches, carpenter ants, silverfish, etc.

I just wish Mosquito Control would run a spray truck in Century. I can’t remember the last time I have seen one up here. The mosquitos, yellow flies, biting house flies, horse flies and the nat’s are terrible. If they suck blood then they can carry diseases. Just saying

I have a bat house but no bat has ever set up shop. We could breed bats and release them just for this purpose. What about lots of frogs?

With so little rain this year, I haven’t seen the city trucks spraying for mosquitoes yet this year.

Just because a mosquito species is capable of spreading a disease if first has to be positive with that disease before it can spread any disease There are many species in Escambia County capable of spreading multiple diseases but luckily there no positive mosquito species carrying a disease known at this time.

I think I’m going to make some bat houses. I read that a single bat can eat up to a thousand mosquitoes in one hour.
