| Asian Tiger Mosquito-Coming To A Town Near You! I saw this on the news and thought I would share. Seems very aggressive and is active during the day as well as night unlike common mosquitos. Few insects are as effective at spreading illness as the Asian tiger mosquito. The pest transmits more than 20 diseases, according to the Cornell Chronicle, including West Nile fever, dengue fever, yellow fever and two types of encephalitis.

| Yes, they look pretty nasty! Just something else us as dog owners have to look out for, as well as for ourselves!

| "You can try and swat it all you want, but once it's on you, it doesn't let go." I will seriously if 1 bites me! I saw it on the news, they're huge too, right? They said even small drops of water left in water bottles is enough for the mosquitos to lay their eggs in , major grossness!

| Yep, we have them in central, ca. Some were located just down the street. They are hard to kill as don't need stagnant water to lay eggs, and eggs lay dormant for a long time. You can recognize them by brown stripped body. |

| I am on constant search for water puddles and dump my pups kiddie pool twice a week. I also add mosquito fish to ponds and the pellets to the dogs pool. (Safe for animals) |
