The spring and summer months offer plenty
of opportunities for outdoor activities. Whether you enjoy
recreational sports, gardening, or an outdoor Bar-B-Q with
your family, being outdoors is fun!
Unfortunately,
this time of year is also welcomed by mosquitoes'. Until the
summer of 1999, mosquito's red itchy bites were only an
annoyance, but now mosquitoes strike a fearful buzz in our
ears because of the threat of the West Nile Virus (WNV). Even
though the risk of contracting the WNV is low, Georgian's
should mosquito-proof their yards (and
themselves!) to lessen the risk.

Because local mosquito control districts usually focus their efforts in public areas,
they can only control a portion of the mosquito
population. Bizzy Bee Exterminators can locate and treat mosquito breeding sites
on your property by preventing mosquito larvae in standing-water areas from
developing into breeding, biting adults.
Your property
could be a breeding ground for thousands of mosquitoes.
Although complete eradication of mosquitoes cannot be
guaranteed, our professionals can significantly reduce the
adult mosquito population and prevent mosquitoes from breeding
in your yard!
