Kelowna, Canada - June 6, 2018 /PressCable/ —
The Okanagan lake level has remained steady over the past few weeks, and though it is still close to its full pool, experts believe the flood risk has passed for the time being. While that is a relief for lakeside landowners, the high water levels have created ideal conditions for bugs and insects to colonize in large numbers. In years where the banks have been swollen, the Okanagan has seen far greater than usual numbers of mosquitos due to standing water created by the flooding, and numerous reports have detailed the distinct likelihood that this year’s conditions have created a similar scenario.
Okanagan residents have never let a few bugs stop them, arming themselves with bug spray and retractable screen doors, but locals have expressed a slight concern about the possibility of insect infestations in their homes due to the prevalence of outdoor-indoor living spaces in the area. “It is a little worrisome knowing that the flooding has contributed to larger insect populations” said one Kelowna resident.
There are a number of different options for residents wishing to beat the bugs this summer, however. Bug spray containing DEET has long been an effective way to minimize the impact of mosquitos on outdoor activities like barbeques, as are citronella candles. For homeowners wishing to reduce the bother of bugs while continuing to enjoy their indoor-outdoor living spaces, an investment in motorized wall screens or retractable screen doors may be the best option. “A large patio area with an opening into the home definitely makes a home vulnerable to insects such as mosquitos, black flies, and spiders”, notes a representative from Phantom Screens Okanagan. “Phantom Screens carries a wide range of screen products that can be custom-fitted to any home opening, which is often the best option for limiting the impact of insects in the long-term”.
