The Aedes aegypti, an urban dwelling container mosquito, loves to hang out in yards and neighborhoods — places close to people. Its eggs can survive the mild winters to hatch at the first sign of water and warm weather. Be proactive to prevent this mosquito in your Spring cleaning. If you have experienced DAY BITING mosquitoes, please let us know how we can help. Contact the Southwest Mosquito Abatement & Control District office at 435-627-0076 or www.swmosquito.org
