Zika Worries
Mosquitoes Thrive During the Summer, Drought or Not According to Maddox, simply using a watering can on plants gives enough water for a few mosquitoes to breed. What’s worse is the trays under potted plants where water collects. Mosquitoes thrive in standing water. Standing water can collect anywhere a sprinkler sprays, for sure. Take overturned trash can lids into consideration, for example. Mosquitoes particularly thrive at night, but they’re still active during the day. Shaded areas will have more mosquitoes. Most Georgia yards will have shaded areas with some standing water. That’s an especially fitting breeding ground for mosquitoes! Zika Worries Still Prevalent No locally-acquired cases in Georgia have been reported yet, but 48 cases of travel-related Zika have been reported by the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control. And, the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is the mosquito that is capable of carrying the Zika virus once it bites a Zika-infected host, is currently thriving in Georgia.

David Maddox Discusses Mosquitoes on WSB-TV
Georgia has been facing a drought, and mosquitoes are still thriving. Although water is the mosquito breeding ground, mosquitoes actually need less than a teaspoon of water to breed. Mosquito season is during the summertime when it̢۪s warmer and more people are spending time outdoors. Be it a drought that stretches for months, or a drought that stretches for years, a drought does not deter mosquitoes. David Maddox, Owner of Tuxedo Mosquito Control, explains on WSB-TV 2 how mosquitoes remain prevalent throughout Georgia.
Termites are Active Year-round
As I sit in my warm office this afternoon, I realized that it's getting close to Termite Season (Swarmers). Actually in Georgia there really isn't a Termite Season. Termites are active year-round . The homeowners think their Dormant in the winter, but they are working within the colony to develop what we hear as Swarms. Termites are more active in the warmer months but they're still active all year. I was doing an Inspection today and found termites tunneling up the outside of the home with live termites in the tunnels . So homeowners beware Termites in Georgia are active all year long. Take advantage of having a professional inspect your home today before its to late ! Like the saying says, "There are 2 homes in Georgia 1 that has termites and 1 thats going to get them!" Which one are you ?
