West Nile Virus Causes Concern Throughout
the Tri-County Area
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC),West Nile Virus (WNV) is a potentially serious viral infection that can cause inflammation of the spinal cord and brain; approximately 80 percent of people who are infected with WNV will not show any symptoms at all. The most common way to contract the virus is through a mosquito bite.

Moyer Better Homes Pest Control has more than 28 years experience in the tri-county area. We understand that the easiest and best way to avoid WNV is to prevent mosquitoes from biting you. Since that's not always possible, you need to take preventative measures. Having Moyer Better Homes Pest Control treat your property for mosquitoes is a very effective way to dramatically decrease the mosquito population near your home.

We Specialize in Mosquito Management
Moyer Better Homes Pest Control offers a mosquito reduction service of existing mosquito larvae developing in standing water and managing them before they become breeding, biting adults.

Unfortunately, not all of the mosquitoes you encounter on your property originate there. This means an ongoing treatment program is your best option to help protect you and your family so you can continue to enjoy your outdoor activities. Successful mosquito management requires a knowledge of where and how they develop. Some mosquitoes can develop from egg to adult in less than a week, or development can be extended to several months, depending on species and temperature.

Something You Can Do
You should remove any standing water since it makes perfect breeding sites for mosquitoes. Changing the water in pet dishes and replacing the water in bird baths weekly is also a good idea. If you have a tire swing, drill drainage holes in it so water drains out and keep children’s wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren’t being used.
