Services > Mosquito Control Treatment
Mosquitoes are not just annoying pests that cause itchy bites – they also pose serious health risks to humans and animals. Mosquitoes are known to carry and transmit a variety of diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus. These diseases can cause serious illness and even death, particularly in vulnerable populations such as children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems.
There are several signs that can indicate a mosquito infestation in your home or the surrounding area, and you should get mosquito pest control.
If you see adult mosquitoes in or around your home, it's a sign that there is likely a breeding source nearby.
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so if you have standing water in or around your property, such as in buckets, flower pots, or clogged gutters, it can attract mosquitoes and lead to an infestation.
If you or your family members are experiencing an unusual amount of mosquito bites, it could be a sign that there are a large number of mosquitoes in the area.
Mosquito larvae are small, wriggling creatures that can be found in standing water. If you notice these in or around your property, it's a sign that there is a breeding source nearby.
Mosquitoes make a distinct buzzing sound when they fly, so if you hear a lot of buzzing in and around your home, it could be a sign of a mosquito infestation.
Preventing and getting rid of mosquitoes can be accomplished through some of the best mosquito treatments:
The best way to prevent mosquitoes is to eliminate breeding sources. This involves removing standing water from around your property, such as in buckets, flower pots, and clogged gutters. Keep your yard clean and free of debris, and regularly empty outdoor pet water dishes.
Mosquito repellents can be an effective way to prevent mosquito bites. Use insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus on your skin or clothing when outdoors, and consider wearing long sleeves and pants.
Mosquito nets can be used indoors and outdoors to protect against mosquito bites, particularly during sleep. Mosquito nets can be hung over beds or used to cover outdoor sitting areas.
If you have a severe mosquito infestation or if you live in an area with a high risk of mosquito-borne diseases, you may need to seek the help of a professional pest control service.
Installing screens on doors and windows can prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
Mosquito traps use attractants to lure and kill mosquitoes and can be an effective way to control mosquito populations.
