Each year the third week of June is declared NationalMosquito Control Awareness Week by the American Mosquito Control Association.AMCA’s “Mosquito Week” aims to educate the public about the significance ofmosquitoes in their daily lives and why mosquito control is so important. WhileMosquito Joe thinks educating our neighbors on mosquito control is importantyear round, we’re excited to mark this important week each year by giving backto our community.

For the third year, during Mosquito Control Awareness Week,June 21-27, Mosquito Joe locations across the country are partnering with localblood donation centers for our Beat the Bloodsuckers campaign. For every newcustomer that signs up for a mosquito treatment service from participatingMosquito Joe locations, we will donate 10% of those sales to local blooddonation centers to help with all the amazing work they do in the communitieswhere we operate.

Additionally, since many of our franchisees are partneringwith the American Red Cross, we decided to take our efforts one step furtherthis year with a blood drive. Mosquitoes are collecting blood from us and ourfriends every day without asking, but we’d rather be donating blood to a bettercause. The Red Cross has to collect 15,000 blood donations every day to haveenough blood to help patients in 2,700 hospitals and transfusion centers acrossthe country. That’s a lot of patients in need, and all of us coming togethercan help ensure patients receive life saving blood. We are hoping you’ll pledgeto donate blood with us and Beat the Bloodsuckers. Click here and check out ourvirtual blood drive and campaign as we encourage people to donate blood inhonor of Mosquito Control Awareness Week.

If you donate blood during our campaign, post it to Twitteror Facebook and tag @mosquitojoe and hashtag #beatthebloodsuckers. We can’twait to see all the great things this campaign is going to do in communitiesacross the country. If you or someone you know needs mosquito control treatmentin their yard, Mosquito Control Awareness Week is a great time to signup! 10%of sales from new customers will be going to a local blood bank in yourcommunity.
