We don’t know everything there is to know about the Zika virus, but what we do know is very frightening. The Zika virus is especially problematic for women who are pregnant or who are about to become pregnant: it appears that the disease can contribute to infants being born with microcephaly, a condition where the head is abnormally small and the brain can not develop properly.
We know that the Zika virus is spread by mosquitoes. So are many other diseases, including malaria, dengue, and the West Nile virus. Obviously, Brockton homeowners are very interested in keeping their families safe and healthy. This means focusing on mosquito control.
As your Brockton lawn care service, we work closely with property owners to identify areas on their land where mosquitoes may be breeding. Low lying wet areas are prime mosquito nesting areas; any swampy, marshy areas need to be checked. Eliminating these areas through fill and planting help reduce the amount of mosquitoes. Additionally, we treat the breeding areas on your property repeatedly throughout the warm months to ensure your family stays safe.
Families that prefer an all-green, chemical-free approach to life will be happy to learn that their Brockton lawn service also offers safe, effective chemical free mosquito control.
Expect to see mosquito control as an ongoing concern as Zika and other mosquito borne illnesses dominate our headlines. Changing weather patterns are making it easier for flying insects to travel outside what had been their traditional territories. While Zika thus far has been limited to the warmer climates of the South, we don’t know what’s coming. It is better to be prepared.
