We will evaluate your property and recommend the appropriate program for your property.\u00a0 In addition we will recommend steps that you can take to eliminate mosquito breeding sites on your property which will further reduce the population of mosquitoes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Only female mosquito species bite humans and animals; while the males consume flower nectar.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">Female mosquitoes require a sufficient amount of protein for their eggs, and they need the blood to essentially reproduce. Because the male species does not produce offspring, males will avoid you completely and move towards your flowers instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>A mosquito\u2019s wing beats 300-600 times per second.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">This explains the irritating buzzing sound you hear just before a mosquito lands on you and bites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>All mosquitoes require water to breed. Some species can breed in puddles left after a rainstorm.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">Just a few inches of water is all it takes for a female mosquito to deposit her eggs. Tiny mosquito larva develop quickly in bird baths, roof gutters, and old tires. \u00a0Control mosquitoes by dumping standing water every few days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">Mosquitoes can detect carbon dioxide from up to 75 feet away.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">Once a female sense CO2 in the vicinity, she flies back and forth until she locates her victim Carbon dioxide, which humans and other animals produce, is the key signal to mosquitoes that a potential blood meal is near. They&#8217;ve developed a keen sensitivity to CO2 in the air. Once a female senses CO2 in the vicinity, she flies back and forth through the CO2 plume until she locates her victim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Some mosquitoes prefer to bite amphibians or birds and not humans.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">A common misconception is that every mosquito species will take blood from people. The truth is some mosquito species feed on other animals, and will generally stay away from you. One example of a mosquito that will bite birds but not humans is Culiseta <\/span><em style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">melanura<\/em><span style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mosquito mates synchronize their wing beats to perform a lover&#8217;s duet.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">Scientists once thought that only male mosquitoes could hear the wing beats of their potential mates, but recent research on Aedes <\/span><em style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">aegypti <\/em><span style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">mosquitoes proved females listen for lovers, too. When the male and female meet, their buzzing synchronizes to the same speed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Salt marsh mosquitoes may travel up to 100 miles from their larval breeding habitat.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">Most mosquitoes emerge from their watery breeding ground and stay pretty close to home. However, some, like the salt marsh mosquitoes, will fly lengthy distances to find a suitable place to live, with all the nectar and blood, they could want to drink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>An adult mosquito may live 5-6 months.<br \/>\n<\/strong>Few probably make it that long, given our tendency to slap them silly when they land on us. But in the right circumstances, an adult mosquito has quite a long life expectancy, as bugs go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I have heard the term Vector, what does it mean?<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 20.3999996185303px;\">A vector is an insect or animal that transmits diseases from one host to another.\u00a0 Mosquitoes are vectors for many diseases including West Nile, Malaria, Encephalitis and Chikungunya.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YOU CAN HELP CONTROL MOSQUITOES IN YOUR YARD In order to effectively reduce harmful and annoying mosquitoes in your yard it is important to identify and eliminate mosquito breeding sites \u00a0around your home to protect your family and your pets.
