What is the most deadly organism on the planet?
No, it's not sharks, lions, bears, hippos, or rhinos. It's the mosquito. More than 3,000 species of mosquito inhabit the Earth. Each have their own set of unique characteristics and each has the potential to transmit various infectious diseases.
Dibrofilaria immitis, more commonly known as heart worms is a parasitic roundworm that is transmitted to your pet by the bite of a mosquito vector.
As the female mosquito needs water to lay her eggs, your pet's water dish is the perfect habitat. To assist in reducing this risk, make sure you clean and refresh your pet's water dish every few days.
As we approach the summer months, it is important to manage the mosquito population around your home and property to reduce the number of bites both you and your pet receive.
