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...

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 March each year.

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 creature on this planet.

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.
