Mosquitoes are a problem throughout Ohio.
At least 58 different species of mosquitoes are found in the state. Fortunately, only a few species cause annoyance. Nevertheless, their presence affects most everyone. Mosquitoes, whether in the home, yard, park or elsewhere, interfere with work and leisure activities. Some mosquitoes attack pets and even farm animals, causing weight loss and decreased milk production.
