With the recent rain, standing water is a problem in some areas, and could mean you may have to be on the lookout for more mosquitoes.
Allen County Public Health officials say it's important people watch for standing water on their property since it only takes about seven days for mosquitoes to go from being eggs to flying away as adults. They recommend draining or treating water that's sitting in places like birdbaths, and to take precaution from getting a mosquito bite.
"Avoid being outside in evening hours or dusk or dawn, when mosquitoes are most active," said Bill Kelly, Environmental Health Services Director for ACPH. "Don’t be afraid to wear repellent to keep mosquitoes off of you if you have to be out, and wear longer clothing."
Kelly says people should also watch for mosquito eggs in standing water.
