Or more appropriately stated, some of the worst things about living in Central Massachusetts. Mosquitoes, plural.
The Mosquito Plague In Central Massachusetts
The first reports of mosquito-transmitted Yellow Fever in the United States occurred in Charleston, SC, and Philadelphia, PA, back in 1699. Today, it is found in South America and Africa and causes around 200,000 infections and 30,000 deaths each year. Fortunately, there is an effective vaccine against yellow fever. But what about the other mosquito diseases that surround us here in Central Massachusetts? Are their vaccines for those?

Stop living in fear of mosquito bites – you have better things to do! With professional, dependable, and regularly scheduled mosquito control, you can boldly go where no mosquito scared person has ever gone before – your backyard. It drives me crazy when I think about having to live your life constantly thinking about “Are they biting today?” … “Is it safe to water my vegetable garden now – or do I need to wait?” … “What if one flies into my mouth again?”

mosquito control, what is the best mosquito control
This is the perfect time of year to think about mosquito control. When we pose the question, “What is the best mosquito control,” we are not necessarily looking for the most effective solution. Truth is, mosquito protection is not a one-size-fits-all concept. Just like the clothes we wear, the cars we drive, and the homes we live in, the best mosquito control is the mosquito control that serves us best. There are options.

Does mosquito control get rid of stink bugs?
mosqutio control, stink bugs, stink bugs in Massachusetts
The mid-Atlantic region of the United States boasts the highest concentration of stink bugs. But they are alive and well in Massachusetts too. The marmorated or East Asian stink bug is back! Well, they technically never left. These ugly, six-legged pests can be found on sunny porches, exterior walls, and even inside your home. You generally will not see stink bugs in the summertime. Why do they come out in the fall? Stink bugs are looking for a place to overwinter. That’s why they are coming inside your home, and it is also why they might be congregating inside your walls, attics, or crawl spaces.

mosquito control, West Nile Virus
West Nile virus was discovered in mosquito samples in the Northeast about a month ago. On Thursday, a Massachusetts resident was diagnosed with the virus, the sixth human case since the beginning of the month. The Department of Public Health confirmed that this diagnosis is the first human case in someone under the age of 50. Approximately eight U.S. states have been put on high alert, in what is considered peak season for this mosquito-borne illness. Other northeast states include New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Delaware. According to the Centers for Disease Control, now is the time to ramp up or maintain preventative measures against mosquito bites.

do hornets eat mosquitoes, hornets, mosquito predators
In 2020, we heard a lot about Asian giant hornets. Fortunately, Worcester residents did not acquire these hornets.
However, according to Mass Audubon, we have quite a few hornet, bee, and wasp species in Worcester. One type of hornet is quite large. The European hornet (Vespa crabro) is alarming. They can grow to 1.5″ in size. European hornets are loud, obnoxious fliers, and are often confused for murder hornets. Their stings pack a punch too! You might have noticed these hornets flying around your outdoor lights at night or early in the morning. Why do they swarm your porch lights? These hornets eat insects that are attracted to light. They also chew insects to feed to their young.
