It is crazy but it is 100% true. This is the time of the year it begins.

It's also not good when we get lots of rain and some flooding. We have gotten that of late and it all works together in favor of the bad guy, or deadly creature.

However, living in Alabama also comes with a few critters due to the humid climate.

There's nothing we can do about it. I have been told that this DEADLY creature is also just part of life in the deep south of Alabama.

The deadly annoyance is now active right here in Alabama.

When you add in storms, as we have seen of late, we can just forget about it.

You see, the deadliest creature on this planet could also be very dangerous to our personal health.

Alabama is the home to around 60 different species of mosquitos and guess what the worst part is...

THEY ARE HUNGRY

You, me, and the rest of us are a definite food source for these little....umm....well, you know.

These deadly creatures will also try to feed on our pets if they can get to them.

According to the experts in pest control, Burnum-Haun, the Alabama mosquito season begins in February each year.

It typically runs through Late September/Early October.

Alabama gives them the warm temps and moist, humid air that they absolutely love.

MOSQUITOS KILL AROUND 725,000 PEOPLE EACH YEAR

That is really hard to believe. However, it is absolutely true.

That huge number makes them the deadliest creatures on this planet.

What comes in #2?

Human beings. Humans kill around 400,000 other humans each year.

This is very interesting. Ten facts about mosquitos, the world's deadliest animal can be found RIGHT HERE.

The mosquito carries multiple deadly diseases, including malaria, West Nile virus, Zika, and yellow fever.

Alabama has a good handle on these deadly diseases with only a few deaths last year. However, our neighbors in Georgia are much higher up on the list of folks infected.

I would call the experts at Burnum-Haun and have your home or yard treated with their mosquito-killing system.
