Understanding Mosquito Behavior And Risks
When you have an in-depth understanding of mosquito behavior and the risks that this pest represents, you can start taking steps to protect your family. Let’s first cover mosquito behavior.
Mosquito Behavior
Many people associate mosquitoes with standing water such as lakes and ponds, and it’s true that mosquitoes lay their eggs on standing water. However, they only need about one inch of water to do so. As a result, it’s important for you to keep an eye out for vulnerable areas that could potentially attract mosquitoes to your lawn, such as overturned garbage can lids, pet water bowls, and water saucers under potted plants. You can have help with this step when you get started with our mosquito control services, as our expert technicians will conduct a thorough walk-through of your lawn in the Mashpee area.
Mosquito Risks
The risk of mosquitoes goes beyond the annoyance of an itchy bite. Some people have an allergy to a type of protein within mosquito saliva, which can make mosquito bites large and painful. It’s also crucial to remember that mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting often fatal diseases such as Zika Virus and West Nile Virus. Furthermore, mosquitoes are the vectors through which domesticated pets can become infected with heartworm disease.
