Today Is World Mosquito Day

Who knew that there was a day set aside for the Michigan State bird?  Just kidding, but some years it feels that way.  Today is World Mosquito Day, established in 1897 to raise awareness about the causes of malaria and how it can be prevented.  In this part of the world, there are worse things that get transmitted by mosquitos than malaria.


Use today to review your personal environment.  Do you have areas that catch and hold water accidentally?  If you can’t change that, perhaps a mosquito trap would work.  You can also visit the American Mosquito Control Association for more information and tips.
