Mosquito Control
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes, the Culicidae, are a family of small files consisting of 3,600 species. Mosquitoes have a slender segmented body, one pair of wings, three pairs of long hair-like legs, and specialized, highly elongated, piercing-sucking mouthparts. All mosquitoes drink nectar from flowers; females of some species have in addition adapted to drink blood. The group diversified during the Cretaceous period. Evolutionary biologists view mosquitoes as micropredators, small animals that parasitise larger ones by drinking their blood without immediately killing them. Medical parasitologists view mosquitoes instead as vectors of disease, carrying protozoan parasites or bacterialor viral pathogens from one host to another.
Mosquito Breeding Sites
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in slow-moving or stagnant water, and eliminating some of this water can drastically improve your chances of controlling populations around your home.
You can slow down mosquito breeding by draining tires, unclogging gutters, and removing other slow or standing water sources, you may be able to make a dent in the local mosquito population on your own.
But while reducing standing water in the area will help make your problem a smaller one, this likely won’t be enough to stop the daily mosquito bites.
Year-Round Protection Against Mosquitoes
Not only are mosquitoes an unrelenting pest that can drive you indoors to escape their itchy bites, but they can also transmit serious diseases, including the West Nile Virus. Many Florida counties are reducing the area-wide government mosquito control programs, so backyard mosquito control is often the only protection your home or business has from mosquitoes. Florida residents don’t hibernate during the winter, and neither do mosquitoes! You should be able to cook-out and enjoy yourself without being attacked by a mob of mosquitoes in your backyard. While you may think there’s no way to keep mosquitoes out of your yard, there’s hope after all.
Every mosquito treatment We performs includes the application of biological larvicides, which is organic and harmless to people, pets, birds, and fish, in areas of standing water.
This treatment will prevent the ability of mosquitoes to breed in treated areas for up to 30 days!
Along with this monthly larvicide application, we’ll use a backpack fogger to get the mosquitoes anywhere around your neighborhood from going to your house for shelter
Mosquito treatments can take a few months to kick in. In the meantime, you might be tempted to try out some natural mosquito repellents to keep your family healthy and free from mosquito bites.
