Look for droppings, gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring, shredded nesting material, and scratching sounds in walls or the attic, especially at night.
Mosquitoes are most active in the warmer months, typically from spring through fall. Standing water in gutters, birdbaths, toys, and flowerpots gives them places to breed.
Empty or refresh standing water every few days, keep gutters clear, and trim thick vegetation where mosquitoes rest. Professional treatment adds another layer of protection during peak season.
