Temperatures are rising and mosquitoes are on the move. With the average female mosquito able to lay over 100 eggs after each feeding–multiplied by hundreds, if not thousands–mosquito populations can quickly multiply exponentially. This is why getting started with mosquito spraying for your Tolland area home or business is important to do as soon as possible.
Important Mosquito Facts
Females Need Blood to Produce Eggs
After a female mosquito feeds on a human or animal victim, it will look for an immediate source of water to lay eggs, usually up to 100 each time. This cycle is repeated constantly, multiplied by all the female mosquitoes around, and you can easily see how out of hand things can become.
They Hibernate!
You may assume that as the temperatures drop, adult mosquitoes die. On the contrary, many adults are able to hibernate throughout the winter and re-emerge as soon as temperatures begin rising consistently above 50 degrees.
Their Eggs are Hardy
Mosquito eggs laid in early fall are able to survive up to eight months without moisture. They stick like glue to the inside of pots or undersides of saucers, often suspended in ice. As temperatures go up in spring, and either humans or rainwater are increased to the level where the eggs exist, they hatch into larvae.
They Carry Diseases
Mosquitoes can carry many harmful diseases like Zika or West Nile Virus, Lyme’s Disease, and more. They are the main source of heartworm disease for dogs and cats. The only way to protect yourself and your pets is through monthly pet medication, slathering yourself in DEET, or hiring a professional mosquito spraying company to treat your property in the Tolland area.
