Are you confused about how mosquitoes operate and why they keep coming back to your lawn? Or perhaps you are unsure about the health risks that they represent for your family. Our mosquito control services can help you understand exactly what attracts these pests and why it’s so important to keep them away from your home in Bowling Green.
Understanding Mosquito Behavior and Risks
At Lawn Doctor of Findlay-Bowling Green, we know that knowledge is key when it comes to fighting off mosquitoes. We’ve put together a quick guide covering important facts about mosquito behavior and risks that can help you understand our approach to tackling and preventing infestations.
Mosquito Behavior
When you think about what attracts mosquitoes, the first thing that probably comes to mind is standing water. However, larger bodies of water such as lakes, ponds, and rivers aren’t the only forms of standing water that can become hotspots. Smaller accumulations of moisture on your yard can also give mosquitoes a convenient place to lay their eggs. That’s why we conduct thorough investigations of our clients’ lawns to find potential vulnerabilities such as dog bowls, overturned recycling bin lids, and potted plants that could all hold the one inch of water mosquitoes need to effectively reproduce.
Mosquito Risks
When you are aware of the risks that mosquito bites can bring to your family, you won’t want to give them a fighting chance to call your lawn home. We all know that mosquitoes can cause itchy bites, but it’s what they can transmit when biting that is more concerning. These pests are known vectors for diseases ranging from Zika and West Nile to dengue and malaria, all of which can be fatal. Although not all of these diseases are present in the United States, it’s also important to keep in mind that many people are allergic to mosquito bites, and that even pets can be harmed by mosquitoes through the transmission of heartworm disease.
