Like every year, in some ways it’s hard to believe that 2020 is nearly over.  Holiday shopping is in full swing.  It’s a great year to give the gift of mosquito control.

It might be difficult to imagine the utter nuisances that are mosquitoes, now that the weather has cooled.  When you think of giving the gift of mosquito control, consider it an investment into your loved one’s future health and happiness.  We plan ahead for vacations this time of year, and anticipate home improvement projects in the springtime.  Why not consider mosquito control too?  Here are three great reasons to give mosquito control for Christmas this year.

1. Drastic times call for creative gift-giving measures.

2020 has been a year of interrupted vacations and lots of time spent at home.  Holiday shopping is expected to increase 1.5% this year, with projected online sales growth estimated 25-30%.  Depending on your health and local COVID restrictions, you might not see a brick-and-mortar store this holiday shopping season.  If you are perusing Amazon or other online retailers, uncertain of how to choose the perfect gift, consider buying season-long mosquito control for your loved one.  Many shoppers have taken to purchasing experiences over tangible items for Christmas.  Central Mass mosquito control will offer your loved ones a more comfortable and potentially healthier experience just being at home next year.

2. Mosquito control is a gift that keeps on giving.

How many years can you continue giving your dad a new tie?  How predictable is a bottle of perfume for your mom each Christmas?  Gadgets get put into junk drawers.  Sweaters go out of style.  Don’t even think about giving your wife a vacuum cleaner!  If you are looking for a gift that comes straight from the heart, and one that continues to give long after you have given it, mosquito control is your answer.  With a seasonal mosquito control package, your family member will receive regular barrier mosquito protection sprays from April through October.  If you know someone, who is planning an outdoor wedding in June, give them the gift of a special event spray.  They will enjoy your gift each time they spend time outdoors without swatting at mosquitoes the entire time.  They will thank you when they notice less mosquitoes entering their home.  Most of all, they will have a better chance avoiding mosquitoes, who are carriers of harmful diseases, like Zika, West Nile virus, and EEE.

3. Mosquitoes are not going anywhere.

We know that mosquitoes do not die in the winter.  For the most part, female mosquitoes will mate, and then lie dormant until springtime.  When they emerge in the spring, they will have hundreds of eggs to lay, producing a new generation of nuisance biters and possible disease-spreaders!  Warmer average temperatures are resulting in more mosquitoes, as well as new mosquito species being introduced in new places.  Mosquitoes that were only found in the Southeast 20 years ago, are now thriving in Central Massachusetts.  More mosquitoes mean much more opportunity for bites and the possibility of infection with a mosquito-borne illness.  Get a leg up this Christmas!  Allow your loved one to hit the emerging mosquito population head-on with professional mosquito protection next spring!

Nothing say, “I love you,” like a gift that can keep your loved one safe and healthy.  Consider purchasing a season-long mosquito control solution or special even spray for your friends and family this year.
