Mosquitos Problems This Summer

Experts are predicting mosquitoes to come on strong for the rest of the summer.

The pesky insects develop in water and so any standing water in people yards are making for great incubators.

Naturalist David Mizejewski with the National Wildlife Federation says products to protect yourself from mosquitoes work differently, but effectively.

"We leave a trail of water vapor and carbon dioxide through our skin and out of our breath and that's what mosquitoes are following," says Mizejewski, "and so a lot of these herbal products will actually mask that and keep the mosquitoes from being able to find you."

Mosquito bites can be painful, but Mizejewski says rarely do they produce serious illness.
