"The sweltering summer is finally over in Japan, [but] experts warn that this time of year is actually peak mosquito season"
"...people with higher body temperatures, those who sweat a lot, or those who have just exercised or had alcohol are more likely to get bitten. Dark or black clothing also attracts mosquitoes"

5 Ways to Outsmart a Mosquito This Season

Spring showers and warm weather bring the beauty of the season — but also the return of mosquitos.

If you’re already hearing that familiar buzz or waking up with itchy bites, you’re not alone!

Here are a few quick tips to keep the bites to a minimum:

1. Eliminate standing water: Mosquitos breed in stagnant water. Regularly empty birdbaths, plant saucers, buckets, and anything else that can collect rainwater.

2. Use natural repellents: Citronella candles, essential oils like eucalyptus and lavender, and even planting mosquito-repelling plants like lemongrass and basil can help.

3. Time your outdoor activities: Mosquitos are most active during dawn and dusk. If you can, plan your outside time around those windows.

4. Wear light-colored clothing: Dark colors attract mosquitos more. Loose-fitting, light-colored clothes can help protect your skin.

5. Protect your yard: Regular lawn care and debris removal can drastically reduce mosquito hiding spots. (Need help? That’s where we come in!)

Already got a bite? Here’s how to soothe it fast:

1. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.

2. Dab a little anti-itch cream or calamine lotion.

3. Aloe vera gel and honey can also naturally calm the skin.

The key is to stay proactive before bites become a summer-long battle!

"Over the past four decades, more than two-thirds of the country has seen an increase in “mosquito days” — defined as days with an average humidity of at least 42 percent and temperatures between 50 and 95 Fahrenheit (10 and 35 Celsius).

#MosquitoSeason shortened in hotter [and drier] regions such as Texas, which experienced more frequent temperatures exceeding 95 F, pushing #mosquitoes past their physiological limits."

Mosquito season is changing. See if it has gotten longer in your area.

The Northeast, which has warmed faster than the rest of the country, saw the biggest jump in mosquito days. Look up how mosquito season has changed in your town.
