While there are still small patches of snow hiding here and there, before too long spring will arrive in Wellesley. That means it\u2019s time to start thinking through your mosquito prevention strategy \u2013 a critical component of enjoying a fun summer outdoors.<\/p>\n

Understanding Mosquitoes: Where Do They Come From?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mosquitoes originated in South Africa, according to most scientists. Over many millions of years, these first mosquitoes traveled and evolved. This evolution was to help them adapt to different conditions \u2013 after all, Wellesley, MA tends to be quite a bit colder than South Africa. At this point, there are over 3,500 different species of mosquitoes, but only a few hundred types dine on human blood. Among those that do chow down on us, many mosquitoes spread dangerous diseases, including malaria, EEE, Zika, West Nile, and more.<\/p>\n

Understanding Mosquitoes: How Do They Live<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because we provide mosquito control services as a lawn care company near Wellesley MA<\/a>, we\u2019ve become very highly informed on how mosquitoes conduct themselves. Many people are surprised to learn mosquitoes typically do not fly very far. A few hundred feet is a huge flight for a mosquito. It\u2019s entirely possible for several generations of mosquitoes to thrive on the confines of a small property.<\/p>\n

Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. They don\u2019t need a lot of water \u2013 hundreds of eggs can fit comfortably into the small amount of water that collects in a flowerpot saucer. The first step in successful mosquito control is eliminating all potential breeding sites from your property. This is obviously a big job, which is why our team has trained so thoroughly at identifying and eliminating these sites. We work with homeowners to remediate areas where breeding sites regularly reappear, such as low areas in the lawn where puddles form.<\/p>\n

Eliminating the eggs and larva that grow in the water is a significant important step in achieving a mosquito free lawn. The next steps are eliminating the adult population. This is generally done by using people and pet safe products on the leaf litter and undergrowth that is a mosquitoes\u2019 favorite place to take a nap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
