Mosquito Squad and America’s Swimming Pool Company celebrate National Swimming Pool Day with expert tips and social media contest for consumers
COLUMBIA, Md. — In honor of National Swimming Pool Day, Mosquito Squad and America’s Swimming Pool Company (ASP) have joined forces to ensure families everywhere can enjoy their yard and swimming pool this summer without mosquitoes getting in the way. With the rise in temperatures and increased humidity, backyards can become breeding grounds for mosquitoes if they’re not properly maintained. As experts in mosquito control and swimming pool service, Mosquito Squad and ASP are providing consumers with tips and best practices to prevent that from happening.
”Summer should be spent enjoying family time outside, not worrying about mosquitoes,” said Amy Lawhorne, chief operating officer of Mosquito Squad. “Warm weather and frequent rainfall is the perfect recipe for mosquitoes to multiply and with help from our friends at America’s Swimming Pool Company, we’re sharing our knowledge with consumers so they can keep themselves and their families protected while soaking up the sun and splashing around.”
To further fuel conversation around yard and pool maintenance this summer, Mosquito Squad and ASP are launching the #GuardOurYard contest. To enter, participants must post a photo or video of them enjoying their pool to the contest landing page, GuardOurYard.com, or social media platforms Twitter or Instagram, using the hashtag #GuardOurYard and sharing their zip code.
The contest is open for entries beginning today, July 11, through August 26. Once entries close, Mosquito Squad and ASP will select one winner at random and announce them on social media on Labor Day, September 2. The winner will receive a full season mosquito protection package from Mosquito Squad and free year of pool maintenance from ASP, both for the 2020 season.
“Pool maintenance is often overlooked and without the proper care, your pool could face some serious complications,” said Jimmie Meece, senior vice president of America’s Swimming Pool Company. “Teaming up with Mosquito Squad gives us an opportunity to not only share pool maintenance tips that will help consumers keep their pools healthy and clean, but also best practices to maintain their yard overall so they can play outside and in the pool with their families without unwanted mosquitoes.”
