Dr. Green Services Raises Awareness on Mosquito Risks
As warm, wet weather approaches, residents in urban areas should prepare for increased mosquito activity and the associated dangers of heartworm disease in pets. Dr. Green Services, a leader in residential lawn care and pest control solutions, is sounding the alarm on these important public health issues.
The Emerging Threat of Mosquitoes
Heartworm disease poses serious health risks, transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. This condition affects dogs, cats, and various mammals when larvae from mosquitoes enter their bloodstream, developing into adult worms that can be lethal, attacking the heart and lungs.
James Tatum, Director of Operations at Dr. Green Services, emphasizes the current environmental conditions: "Recent weather patterns have set the stage for a surge in mosquito populations. Factors such as standing water from seasonal rains, warmer temperatures, and lush greenery enable mosquitoes to breed rapidly, creating significant health hazards for both pets and humans."
Taking Action: Mosquito Defense Program
To address the growing concern, Dr. Green Services offers an effective Mosquito Defense Program. This program provides residents in affected metropolitan areas with environmentally friendly treatments that significantly lower mosquito populations around homes and yards.
"Our treatments target mosquitos at their breeding sites—typically in sheltered areas, near vegetation, and around any stagnated water," Tatum explains. "Homeowners looking to enjoy their outdoor spaces while safeguarding against mosquito-borne diseases and heartworm in pets need to take urgent precautions now."
Veterinarian Recommendations
In light of the rising mosquito activity, veterinarians strongly recommend a year-round heartworm prevention plan for pets, especially throughout the mosquito season. Owners should consider monthly preventative medications, schedule annual heartworm testing, and take additional steps to curb mosquito exposure.
Additional Protective Measures
Alongside professional pest control services, Dr. Green Services suggests several practical measures that homeowners should implement:
- Eliminate standing water from any containers, flower pots, or blocked gutters.
- Regularly trim grass and vegetation to reduce appealing resting areas for mosquitoes.
- Install window and door screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering the home.
- Avoid outdoor activities during dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
Dr. Green Services highlights the importance of mosquito control not only for comfort but also for health and safety. Their Mosquito Defense Program is safe for children and pets post-application, significantly minimizing the risk of mosquito-borne diseases.
