After the rain, remember to dump and drain any water that may have collected in your yard. Standing water can be sneaky, so check carefully for hidden and unsuspecting sources! For more information on how to prevent mosquitoes, please visit our website.

Rain is on the way, so let’s get ahead of it and stop standing water and mosquito breeding! Flip over any buckets and pots to prevent water from collecting, and check that your drains are clear. For more tips on keeping mosquitoes away, check out our website!

We have one more creepy crawler to share with you! This fascinating creature, known as the stick bug, truly lives up to its name. Stick bugs are creepy-looking insects that can grow up to 2 feet long, but don't worry—they mainly feed on plants.

No costume for tonight? Try this last-minute frog costume, one of the mosquito's natural enemies! Start by getting a green shirt and matching pants. Then take two paper plates and draw the eyes. Finally, attach the plates to a headband and boom! You're ready for a night of tricks and treats.

This Halloween you can go as our hero, the Vector Control Technician! Grab some khakis or cargos, button down long-sleeve, safety vest (optional). Print your logo, attach a 2 to 3 foot dowel to a paper cup (a larval dipper) and get ready to seek and destroy those mosquitoes (or candy corn)!

Oddly shaped and brightly colored, planthoppers are truly terrifying - if you are a plant! Some species can transmit bacteria and viruses to plants, like the mosquito of the plant world!

Get ready for another creepy crawler! The leaf-footed bug might look a bit scary with its unique shape, but don't fret! These little critters are more interested in munching on plants than causing any trouble.

Looking for last-minute costume ideas? Try being a mosquito's favorite treat this Halloween! First, grab a red shirt and label it "O+". Then print out some mosquitoes and magnets to complete the look, you'll be irresistible to those pesky blood suckers!

Here is another creepy critter! Looking like a Frankenstein bug made of a horse and a scorpion, scorpion flies are harmless scavengers that help clean up the environment. That tail looks imposing, but is harmless - they use their tail to attract a mate and fool predators!

Need a costume idea? Go as the most annoying critter - the ankle biter! Get some cheap sunglasses, chopstick, some masking tape, and some foamcore board for the wings and you'll be a true vampire!!
