Frog Fact for October

Did you know ...

The word “mosquito” derives from the Spanish word “musketas” which literally translates to “little fly”. There are more than 2500 species of mosquitoes worldwide, 150 of these being found in the US of which 73 are found in Florida, our southern neighbor.

All species of mosquitoes have one thing in common. They are pests and can put a damper on our outdoor activities. They can cause decreased milk production and weight in farm animals and cause heart worms in dogs . Nothing compares, however, with the threat of disease they can easily transfer to humans.

Some of the most common diseases spread by mosquitoes are Malaria, Dengue, Encephalitis and Yellow Fever. Although it was feared in the 1980’s the threat of the HIV virus being spread by mosquitoes has been dismissed. The new threat is the West Nile Virus.

Hello, My Name is....

The staff of Green Frog Pest Solutions have finally settled on a name for our mascot. Hunter Leggett, a seventh grader, of Baxley was the winner with the name "Mr. Croaker Hopkins." Hunter received a $50 Walmart gift card along with a singing frog for having the winning entry.

We would like to thank each and every one who submitted a name over the last few weeks. There were some really good ones. It was a difficult decision, but we feel like Mr. Croaker Hopkins was definitely the most original. So remember, if you have a bug problem, call Mr. Croaker Hopkins at (912)-367-2361.
