AUGUSTA, Ga. – There will be more mosquitoes in Georgia-Carolina this year than there have been in the past four years, according to Richmond County Mosquito Control. Mosquito eggs need water to hatch, and because of the rain we've received this summer, the mosquito eggs that didn't hatch over the past three years are hatching, Richmond County Mosquito Control’s, Fred Koehle said. “What we’re getting now, since we had the rain last month, we’re getting almost a four year hatch all at one time,” Koehle said. Koehle checked on the mosquito situation in a pool that many people have been in a neighborhood in Augusta, Thursday. "This is the kind of standing water that you have to eliminate," Koehle said. He killed over 1000 larva in a bucket with a DDT solution. Koehle says that 75-150 eggs can be laid in a quarter sized amount of water. He also says the mosquitoes laid in this pool affect not only the residents in this house but the surround neighbors. Eric Shrum lives across the street, and noticed the mosquito problem. "They're nasty, they hurt when they bite you and they also carry disease,” Shrum said. Koehle mentioned that Old Spice deodorant is one way to stop the itch, but Shrum has another technique. “You just spray Listerine around your feet, where you’re going to be sitting, and it keeps the mosquitoes and everything else away. It works and Listerine’s cheap,” Shrum says. Eight-year-old, Ava Silva lives down the street and says she has a ton of bites. "They bite you when you're not looking,” Silva said. She gets her bites when she’s playing in the grass in her front yard. "I always look around my arms and legs and I'm so itchy," Silva said. Koehle says that the number of mosquitoes will increase significantly in the next couple months. And the mosquitoes that carry the potentially deadly West Nile Virus come out more during the end of the summer. Richmond County Mosquito controls spray mostly at night, but if you're having a problem with mosquitoes you can email Fred Koehle at contact Richmond County Mosquito Control. This year there will be more mosquitoes in Georgia-Carolina than there have been in the past four years, according to Richmond County Mosquito Control. More
