LIVING HERE

With summer here that means that mosquitos have arrived in great numbers, given the heat and humidity experienced so far this year.
Mosquitos are more active when there are warm temperatures, heavy rainfall, and humidity. The cicadas are just about done visiting Lake Geneva and now the mosquitos are getting ready to pay a visit. Juvenile mosquitos need standing water to develop, so help prevent swarms in your backyard by checking for any stagnant water in and around your property. This summer is expected to be biting, as all the weather variables for mosquitos are perfect for them to thrive.

The City of Lake Geneva will be fogging for mosquitos, as needed during the months of July, August, and September. Specific dates will be posted on when and where the fogging will take place on the City of Lake Geneva website. The city leadership understands there are concerns about the fogging and city employees will conduct the fogging during times when residents are less likely to be outside.  They should complete each event by 2 a.m. There are no special precautions needed, as the insecticide used is rated non-hazardous.
