Is there a baby on the way? Congratulations! Here’s what you need to know about keeping you and your little one safe during mosquito season – which, here in Marshfield has already started.
When you’re pregnant, you’re more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes. Scientists have a variety of theories about why this is the case. The leading one is that it’s an increase in the amount of CO2 exhaled by pregnant people, as well as an increase in overall body temperature, that attracts the mosquitoes.
When you’re pregnant, you want to avoid getting sick. This is better for your health, and it’s better for your baby’s health. Mosquitoes carry several dangerous diseases, and they can give you these diseases when they bite you. Diseases like Dengue Fever, Malaria, West Nile Virus, and Zika are bad for the mother and bad for the baby.
Now it may be that you have mosquitoes around your home. They may live in your backyard area, in among the bushes planted around the house, or in other locations on the landscape. You want to be able to enjoy these spaces without the worry of becoming ill from mosquito bites.
The solution to this problem is contacting mosquito control services in Marshfield. One of the best local lawn services sends a team to your property. They identify where the mosquitoes are breeding, get rid of any mosquito eggs and young mosquitoes as well as the adult mosquitoes. This is all done using products that are family safe. You will be able to enjoy your yard in confidence.
Because mosquitoes breed in pools of standing water, after heavy rains and periodically throughout the summer, you’ll want to have the mosquito prevention treatment reapplied. If you’re planning an outdoor baby shower or other fun gathering, the team can also come and spray in advance of the event to keep the mosquitoes away.
