Well, howdy folks, Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control, comin’ to you from right here in the heart of North Georgia. It’s July 2025 now, and as sure as the sun rises over these beautiful mountains, so do the mosquitoes! And let me tell ya, this year, they’re not just a nuisance – they’re a problem.

We’ve been seeing quite a bit of buzz (pun intended!) about these little bloodsuckers lately, and for good reason. With the warmer temperatures stickin’ around longer and the way the weather’s been, we’re lookin’ at some pretty prime conditions for mosquito breeding. All that rain we’ve had, followed by the heat, creates perfect little nurseries for them in just about any standing water. And in a place like North Georgia, with all our natural beauty, there’s no shortage of spots for them to set up shop.

Now, it’s not just about the itchy bites, though those are certainly enough to ruin a good evening on the porch or a backyard barbecue. We’re talkin’ about more than just a little irritation. Mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting some serious diseases, and that’s where Faith Pest Control really takes it to heart.

Here in Georgia, we’re always on the lookout for West Nile Virus. While most folks who get it might not even know they have it, it can cause severe illness in some, especially older folks or those with weaker immune systems. We’ve also got the Asian Tiger Mosquito (you know, the one with the black and white stripes that bites during the day too!), and they’re known to carry diseases like Zika virus, dengue, and chikungunya. While many of these are often travel-related, the risk is always there when you have the right mosquito species active in our neck of the woods. And let’s not forget about Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), a serious concern, particularly for horses, but humans can get it too.

So, what’s a North Georgia resident to do when it feels like the mosquitoes are takin’ over? Well, first things first, you’ve got to be proactive around your own property. Think of it like this, every little bit of standing water is a welcome mat for these pests. So:

But I know, sometimes, you can do everything right and still feel like you’re fighting a losing battle. That’s where Faith Pest Control comes in.
