Mosquitoes and Ticks…Oh Ick!<\/span><\/strong><\/span>

Come hear advice from two experts on dealing with ticks and mosquitoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christopher Lewis\u2019 talk will cover the tick life cycle: where they live, what they do, the bad news about diseases they carry, and what we can do to protect ourselves from ticks and tick bites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christopher grew up in western Howard County, Maryland, and has been a resident of Silver Spring for over twenty years, mostly working as a horticulturist\/sales associate with The Behnke Nurseries Company, in the woody plants department. He is a Montgomery County Master Gardener and a Maryland certified professional horticulturist. He is also a beekeeper, and many of us have heard the gardening talks he gives regularly at Behnkes and at local garden clubs through the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amy Milne\u2019s talk is titled \u201cGarden Guardian: Mosquitoes in Your Yard and Eco-Friendly Control Methods\u201d Topics include: mosquitoes in our region, their life cycle, places in your yard that could serve as habitat, and how to identify a mosquito during its different life stages. She will also discuss benefits and dangers of mosquitoes in your garden, non-toxic methods of reducing exposure, and examples of community-wide use of mosquito traps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amy moved to Takoma Park from northern Maryland in 2012 and attended the University of Maryland from 2014 \u2013 2017, graduating in December with a BS in Environmental Science and Technology. During the last two years of college, she worked in a mosquito ecology lab which sparked an interest in infectious diseases and public health. After a gap year, she will work toward an advanced degree in Tropical Medicine and Community Health.<\/span><\/p>\n

This event is free and open to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n
