YES!! ❤️ 🦇 🏡 This is such a cool & "baty" print... 😄 Let me add something: did you know #bats are a #dogs key ally? 😉 If you let them roam around freely... they'll eat all the #mosquitoes !! 🦟 ⚠️ 😟 (or, at least, many, just keep protecting you #dog ) #doglife #dogtips #dogparents #dogmums #dogmom #dogdad 🐾

No one knows how they got there or if they'll settle in there, but #mosquitoes have been seen in #Iceland for the first time.

“For more than 15 years, the World Mosquito Program has worked with Queensland Health to help safeguard the region from diseases like dengue.

The program releases Aedes aegypti (dengue) mosquitoes carrying a naturally occurring bacteria called Wolbachia.

This bacteria is found in more than 50 per cent of all insect species and stops the mosquitoes from transmitting viruses such as dengue and Zika.”

Just a reminder that gardening centers will happily sell you plants such as Pelargonium citrosum that are supposedly able to repel mosquitoes. But don't be suckered. No plant has that ability even if thousands of Pinterest pages insist it's true. #mosquitoes #gardening #gardens #plants

Getting ready for mosquito season by clearing my gutters. I can't stress enough how important it is to stay on top of this. #mosquito #mosquitoes #leaves #gutters

For anyone in the United States making mosquito-killing buckets, Trader Joe's will give black florist's buckets away for free if you ask nicely. Talk to the person in charge of cut flowers. (Just add water, dried tree leaves, and 1/4 of a Mosquito Dunk.) #mosquito #mosquitoes
