MOSQUITO CONTROL

Mosquito

Key Facts About Mosquitos

  • Mosquitos are small, flying insects that belong to the family Culicidae.
  • There are more than 3,500 species of mosquitos found throughout the world, with more than 170 species found in the United States alone.
  • Only female mosquitos bite humans and animals to feed on blood, which they need for egg development.
  • Mosquitos are known to spread diseases like malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus.
  • Mosquitos are attracted to body heat, sweat, and carbon dioxide, which is why they tend to bite humans and animals around dusk and dawn when we exhale more carbon dioxide.
  • Mosquitos lay their eggs in standing water, such as ponds, marshes, and even small puddles.
  • Mosquitos can lay hundreds of eggs at once, and these eggs can hatch into adult mosquitos in just a matter of days.
  • Mosquito bites can cause itching, swelling, and even an allergic reaction in some people.
  • Mosquitos are more prevalent in warm and humid environments, but can also be found in colder regions during the warmer months.
  • Mosquito control efforts typically involve removing standing water, using mosquito repellents, and treating areas with insecticides.

Mosquitos can be a nuisance and a health hazard, but there are effective ways to control their populations and reduce their impact on your home or business. A professional pest control agency can help you identify potential mosquito breeding sites, eliminate standing water, and apply effective treatments to reduce the mosquito population in your area. By controlling mosquitos, you can protect your family, customers, and employees from the harmful diseases they can spread.

Negative Effects of Mosquitos

Mosquitoes are not only annoying but can also pose a serious health threat to humans and animals. Here are some of the major negative impacts of mosquitoes:

  • Mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting a number of diseases such as dengue, malaria, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika virus. These diseases can be serious and even fatal, especially for people with weakened immune systems.
  • Mosquito bites can cause itching, swelling, and redness, leading to discomfort and irritation.
  • Mosquitoes can also be a nuisance to pets and livestock, causing stress and loss of productivity.
  • In some regions, mosquito infestations can negatively impact tourism and outdoor activities due to the fear of mosquito-borne diseases.

To protect yourself, your family, and your pets from the negative impacts of mosquitoes, it is important to take preventative measures and seek professional pest control services.

General Preventive Maintenance

Here are a few general preventive measures to take from mosquitos:

  • Remove any standing water: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so removing any standing water in your surroundings can significantly reduce mosquito populations.
  • Use mosquito repellent: Applying mosquito repellent containing DEET or Picaridin on exposed skin can keep mosquitoes away.
  • Wear protective clothing: Wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants, along with light-colored clothing, can reduce the chances of mosquito bites.
  • Install screens: Installing screens on windows and doors can help keep mosquitoes out of your home.
  • Use mosquito nets: Using mosquito nets while sleeping can provide protection from mosquito bites, especially in areas with high mosquito populations.
  • Keep your surroundings clean: Mosquitoes are attracted to garbage and debris, so keeping your surroundings clean and free of clutter can reduce their populations.

Note that these measures are not 100% effective in preventing mosquito bites, and a professional mosquito control service may be required in severe infestations.
