More deaths are associated with mosquitoes than any other animal on the planet. Mosquitoes may carry any number of deadly diseases, including:

  • Malaria
  • Dengue fever
  • Yellow fever
  • Rift valley fever
  • Encephalitis
  • West Nile virus
  • Mosquitoes also carry heartworm, which can be lethal to your dog.

Just because mosquitoes can carry these diseases, doesn’t mean you can’t protect your pets and your home.

Protect Your Pets
