Environmental and Global Health In The News
One of life's summer joys is being able to throw open windows and catch a cool summer breeze. But how do you keep mosquitoes away from windows?
Mosquitoes thrive in the summertime already, and the last thing you need is them buzzing into your home. Don't worry, even if they fly into your house, there's a go-to trick to capture these blood-sucking pests inside.
There’s nothing worse than having ants in your home. And if you’ve spotted one, chances are, there’s likely to be a colony of ants lurking somewhere — ready to appear now the weather is warmer.

A new survey is intended to gauge community concerns and determine if residents would support a valley-wide mosquito control program.
It's the sight every homeowner dreads: a trail of ants crawling around on the floors. While frustrated, you may feel the urge to squish, stomp, or swat those tiny uninvited guests, but you should resist the impulse. It'll do more harm than good—not just to the insect, but to your home.

As the weather warms up and humidity increases, mosquitoes are hatching in backyards across the country, eager to victimize innocent barbecue-goers and home gardeners everywhere.
