Why Mosquito Control Matters in Show Low

Health Protection

Mosquitoes in Arizona are more than just a nuisance—they can pose significant health risks:

• West Nile Virus: Primarily transmitted by Culex mosquitoes, which are common in the White Mountains region
• St. Louis Encephalitis: A potentially serious viral disease also carried by Culex species
• Western Equine Encephalitis: More prevalent in higher-elevation regions like Show Low
• Colorado Tick Fever: A concern in mountain environments when the mosquito population attracts other vectors

Comfort and Enjoyment

Beyond health concerns, mosquitoes can:

• Make outdoor activities unbearable during peak summer months
• Ruin backyard gatherings and family events
• Prevent full enjoyment of Show Low’s beautiful outdoor recreation opportunities
• Create itchy, uncomfortable bites that can lead to secondary infections

Mosquito Prevention Tips for Show Low Residents

Eliminate Standing Water

The most effective way to prevent mosquitoes is to eliminate breeding sites:

• Empty and refresh bird baths, pet water dishes, and plant saucers weekly
• Clear gutters of debris that traps water
• Remove old tires, buckets, and other containers that collect water
• Maintain swimming pools with proper chemicals and circulation
• Check for leaky outdoor faucets, irrigation systems, and air conditioning units

Landscape Management

Simple landscape adjustments can significantly reduce mosquito problems:

• Keep grass trimmed short, as tall grass provides resting sites for adult mosquitoes
• Thin dense vegetation that creates shaded, humid areas attractive to mosquitoes
• Consider using plants with natural mosquito-repelling properties in outdoor living areas
• Ensure proper drainage throughout your yard, especially after summer monsoon rains

Personal Protection

When mosquitoes are active, protect yourself and your family:

• Use EPA-approved repellents when outdoors during peak mosquito activity
• Wear long sleeves and pants when possible, especially during dawn and dusk
• Ensure window and door screens are intact
• Consider using oscillating fans on patios, as mosquitoes are weak fliers
