Benefits of Mosquito Control
Benefits of Mosquito Control
Mosquitoes are an important element of the food chain. They serve as food for fish, bats, birds, and frogs. Also, some species of the insect are essential pollinators. Still, while mosquitoes are important, they are also a nuisance and present risks to humans. The insect can quickly reproduce and it may carry and transmit disease to a human host. If your property is overrun by mosquitoes, it is important to find a safe and effective solution. Professional mosquito control is an excellent option for several reasons.
✅ Protects Your Health
Form Malaria to other bacteria and germs, mosquitoes can spread illness and disease across the population. Effective mosquito control helps control insect populations, reducing the risks to humans. Beyond protecting against life-threatening diseases and illnesses, professional pest control also reduces the risks of allergic reactions from mosquito bites. While bites are usually not dangerous, they are annoying and itchy. Professional treatments can limit the number of mosquitoes on a property, effectively minimizing the risks of multiple insect bites.
✅ Convenience of Professional Treatment
How does mosquito control work? Pest control services use trucks to spray a small amount of pesticide into the air around your property. The insecticide kills the mosquitoes and acts as a fogger. Professional treatments will not last the entire summer but should protect your yard against flying insects for several days. During the days after a mosquito treatment, you don’t need to wear or keep applying bug sprays or repellents. The treatment makes yard use easier and pest control more convenient.
✅ Saves You Money
Investing in mosquito control services can actually save you money in the long run. First, you won’t need to invest in various repellents or sprays. Second, you can save money by not purchasing different candles or devices that claim to deter insects. Third, when you treat your yard, you have less of a need for backyard protection, like screen tents; you can just sit out and enjoy your yard. While you can invest in backyard foggers and other DIY treatments, none are as effective as commercial treatments. Professionals have the tools and knowledge to apply treatments effectively.
✅ Ensures an Enjoyable Outdoor
Professional mosquito control ensures your outdoor spaces are enjoyable, regardless of the time of day. When properly applied, pest control products keep insects off your property. Granted, because mosquitoes are flying insects, homeowners will need to schedule multiple treatments of their yards throughout the mosquito season. Still, you can schedule treatments around parties or outdoor celebrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are The Key Characteristics of Mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes have only one pair of wings, and long thin legs with a distinct proboscis attached to their heads. Their wings and bodies are covered with tiny scales. Full grown mosquitoes vary in size from 3mm to 30mm (depending upon the species). There are about 113 different species in Africa. Mosquitoes are found in a variety of habitats. However, adult mosquitoes rely on water sources to lay eggs, you will most likely find them in or near stagnant bodies of water. This includes floodwater, ditches, woodland pools, and bodies of water found in backyards, like pools, ponds and bird baths.
What factors attract mosquitoes to humans?
Mosquitoes have such an affinity for humans because they are attracted to human sweat. When we perspire, we release odours which attract mosquitoes. Bacteria which reside on human skin emit substances which mosquitoes can detect, e.g. lactic acid, uric acid and ammonia. Mosquito bites tend to be more frequent on exposed parts of the body such as the wrists and ankles. Female mosquitoes can also detect carbon dioxide from over 50 metres away, which we emit every time we breathe out.
What do mosquitoes feed on?
Mosquitoes feed on sweet nectar, fruits and other sugary substances. Female mosquitoes also feed on the blood of humans as they need nutrients to develop eggs. While males only exist for reproductive purposes, females have a proboscis, a long tube (their mouth), which is able to penetrate the human skin to suck blood and garner nutrients.
What Are The Symptoms Of A Mosquito Infestation?
The constant buzzing that you associate with mosquitoes is a sign you may have a problem. You can also detect a mosquito problem by its distinctive buzzing sound. Also, mosquitoes love the shade. If you live in gloomy or shaded areas, it is important to inspect these places for signs of an infestation. If you live near a forest, be careful not to bring them back home. Imagine that your property or house is infected by mosquitoes. If that happens, you will likely start to see them at night and occasionally, even during the day.
Where is a place that I can find around my house where mosquitoes might lay their eggs?
Female mosquitoes lay their eggs on or near water. They like any place water collects, from puddles, birdbaths and old tires in your yard to swamps and ponds. You can help keep mosquitoes from laying eggs at your house by ensuring your gutters are clean and removing water if it starts to collect anywhere.
Why Are Mosquitoes Attracted To Some People And Not Others?
Mosquitoes have always seemed to be more attracted to some people than others. Researchers have discovered that O blood types are twice as likely to be attacked than A blood types. People with Type B are of average likelihood to be bitten. Scientists have also discovered that approximately 85% of people secrete a chemical signal that indicates which blood type they have, while 15% do not – and mosquitoes are more attracted to secretors, regardless of blood type. Therefore, genes play a big part in whether you’ll be attacked at the BBQ!
