Warm temperatures and ample rainfall have allowed mosquitoes to become fully active in many parts of the country. Summer mosquitoes produce generation after generation of mosquitoes as long as there is standing water available. These mosquitoes have benefitted from the wet spring in some parts of the country.
Reducing mosquito bites revolves around the use of repellents, loose-fitting clothing, tight-fitting window screens and yard sprays with malathion, permethrin or cyfluthin, and simply staying indoors during peak mosquito times (around sunrise and sunset). Propane-fired foggers or ULV (ultra-low volume) sprayers can also be used to kill the adult mosquitoes in yards.
