507 Mosquitoes

The Garden Thyme Podcast

Hello Listener,
This month, we discuss our least favorite summertime pest, the Mosquito. We felt very itchy while doing this episode. We review some basic mosquito biology, common species and diseases they transmit in Maryland, and give some tips on how to reduce your chance of getting bitten.
- NPR - A Guide To Mosquito Repellents
- MDA Mosquito Control Program

We also have our:

• Native Plant of the Month - Blue Huckleberry ( Gaylussacia frondosa ) ~29:00
• Bug of the Month – Stick Insects ~32:00
• Garden Tips of the Month – ~39:00

We currently have an open survey for ALL listeners; whether you’ve listened to all of our episodes, or this is your first time. We developed an evaluation to find out if the information we share on the podcast has made a difference in your practices at home. We promise that it is a short, easy 5 min survey, and we even have exclusive podcast stickers to give to those who participate. We are so thankful for the feedback, and we appreciate you tuning in for the podcast!
