Controlling Mosquitoes

Spring is here!  Spring is usually the time for outdoor activities and vacations, but it's also the time of year for mosquitoes to start appearing.

The best way to control mosquitoes is by controlling standing water.  Mosquitoes need standing water to breed, so by removing sources of standing water you can help remove mosquitoes.  As you can see from the pictures below, mosquitoes don't need much water.  A pot, a birdbath, even a leftover plastic cup will do.

Since mosquitoes won't breed in water that is moving, if you have a pond, fountain, or other water feature in your yard, you can keep mosquitoes out by keeping the water moving with a circulation pump.

Do you know the radon level in your house?

Radon is a naturally occurring colorless and odorless gas that results from the decay of uranium deep underground.  Depending on the structure of your house, and the bedrock under your house, radon can find it's way into your home.

Radon is a radioactive gas and can cause cancer at high levels (above 4 pCi/L.)  In fact, according to the EPA, radon is the #1 cause of cancer among non-smokers.
