The mosquito season is commencing, with experts forecasting a surge in mosquito activity attributed to rising temperatures and ideal breeding conditions. Mosquitoes, known carriers of diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus, pose significant health risks. The season typically begins in spring and summer when temperatures consistently exceed 50°F (10°C). This year, increased rainfall in certain areas is expected to create more breeding sites, exacerbating the problem. Standing water in various locations, including discarded tires and clogged gutters, serves as prime breeding grounds.
