West Nile Virus Detected in Anne Arundel County

The Maryland Department of Agriculture has confirmed that mosquitoes collected in Anne Arundel County have tested positive for West Nile virus.

While the risk to most people remains low, this is an important reminder that mosquito control is about more than just avoiding itchy bites.

You can help protect your family by:

• Emptying standing water at least once a week from buckets, flower pots, birdbaths, toys, tarps, and gutters.

• Keeping grass mowed and trimming shrubs where mosquitoes rest during the day.

• Cleaning clogged gutters so rainwater doesn’t collect.

• Changing water in birdbaths and pet bowls every few days.

• Storing boats, kayaks, wheelbarrows, and other equipment so they don’t hold rainwater.

• Repairing window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home.

• Wearing EPA-registered insect repellent when spending time outdoors.

• Wearing long sleeves and pants when outside around dawn and dusk, when many mosquitoes are most active.

• Using outdoor fans on patios and decks, since mosquitoes are weak fliers.

• Keeping swimming pools clean, chlorinated, and circulating.

Routine mosquito treatments can also help reduce mosquito populations around your property throughout the season.

At MD Elite Mosquito Services, we’re proud to help families throughout Pasadena and Anne Arundel County enjoy their backyards with fewer mosquitoes.

Mosquito Tip of the Week

Rain barrels are great for conserving water—but only if they’re maintained properly.

This homeowner had standing water and organic debris sitting in the barrel, creating ideal conditions for mosquitoes to lay eggs.

We treated this rain barrel with BTI (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis), a mosquito larvicide that targets mosquito larvae in standing water. It’s a great option for water that can’t be emptied regularly.

Take a few minutes each week to inspect rain barrels, birdbaths, gutters, flower pots, and anything else that collects water.

Myth Busters #001

Many people think mosquitoes only come out at dusk.

In reality, Asian Tiger Mosquitoes—one of the most common mosquitoes in Anne Arundel County—bite during the day, which is why people often get bitten while gardening, playing with the kids, or relaxing outside in the afternoon.

Have you ever noticed mosquitoes biting you during the daytime?

Your backyard should belong to your family… not the mosquitoes.

Summer is meant for swimming, relaxing, and spending time outside—not swatting mosquitoes.

🚨 MD Elite Most Wanted – File #001

Meet one of Anne Arundel County’s most aggressive mosquitoes: the Asian Tiger Mosquito.

Unlike many mosquitoes, this one bites during the day and can breed in something as small as a bottle cap of water.

Rain is coming… but don’t forget to check behind your trash cans.

With several rounds of rain in the forecast this week, it’s worth taking a quick walk around your yard after the storms pass.

One place that’s often overlooked is behind trash and recycling cans. Low spots can hold water for days, creating the perfect place for mosquitoes to lay their eggs.

Under the right conditions, mosquitoes can go from egg to biting adult in as little as 7–10 days.

Take a few minutes to check for standing water around:
• Trash & recycling cans
• Buckets
• Bird baths
• Kids’ toys
• Flower pot saucers
• Wheelbarrows

A five-minute yard check today can help prevent hundreds of mosquitoes next week.

What’s the most unexpected place you’ve found standing water around your home?

Think mosquitoes only breed in ponds? Think again.

This underground gutter drain pipe was holding standing water—and mosquito larvae (often called “wigglers”) were already developing inside.

Mosquitoes can breed anywhere water sits for several days, including hidden places like underground drains, clogged gutters, and other containers around your yard.

In this video, I treat the water with BTI, which targets mosquito larvae before they become biting adults.

A little prevention now can make a big difference later in the season.

If you have questions about mosquito breeding sites around your property, I’m always happy to help.

Rain barrels are a great way to conserve water, but they also need to be maintained properly.

If water sits uncovered or screens become damaged, they can become mosquito breeding sites.

A quick inspection every so often can help keep them working as intended while keeping unwanted pests, like mosquitoes, to a minimum.
