Understanding Mosquito Behavior And Risks
To properly deal with mosquitoes, it is first important to understand how they operate, as well as the health risks that their bites can bring.
You may believe it is common knowledge that mosquitoes breed in ponds, lakes, and other areas with standing water, but be surprised when your lawn is swarmed by these pests even when there’s no body of water in sight. It’s important to keep in mind that a large amount of water isn’t required for mosquitoes to lay their eggs. In fact, less than an inch of liquid will do the trick. As a result, everything from a plastic bottle cap to your dog’s water bowl could be inviting mosquitoes to call your yard home.
This detail isn’t the only one that is often overlooked when it comes to mosquitoes. Because they can spread particularly dangerous viruses like Zika and West Nile to humans, the health effects they present for pets are often underestimated. The truth is that mosquitoes are the required vector for spreading heartworm to dogs and cats. When these animals are bitten by a mosquito, a microscopic parasite can be transferred into their bloodstream that later grows into a much larger, life-threatening heartworm.
