Mosquito activity is surging in Ohio as the state experiences mid-summer weather. Health experts attribute the increase to repeated rounds of rain paired with recent hot and humid conditions, which have created ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes.
Officials expect mosquito activity to increase over the next couple of weeks before tapering off closer to fall. They recommend draining any standing water and wearing bug spray when going outside to help reduce mosquito exposure.
