Mosquitoes—Are You Getting Bitten?

 


 

Recently I stood outside the front door here at The Elizabeth and got several mosquito bites on my ankles and legs. Have you noticed that our night time concierge covers up not only his arms but also his head?  While opening the front doors allows mosquitoes to fly into the lobby, with the large gap between the doors, mosquitoes can get in regardless.

 

Many of the mosquitoes in our area bite all day and some of them are known to carry Zika and Dengue Fever. https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/mosquito/species.html

 

We need the exterminator to treat the outside flower beds as well as our lobby and garage now. This problem typically persists until the first frost which might happen in October.

 

Do your part and let our Board of Directors know you want the mosquito problem addressed now. After all, we pay high condo fees and deserve quality service to ensure we are not plagued by rodents or insects like roaches, spiders, and mosquitoes.
