Understanding Mosquito Behavior and Risks
Here is a quick guide reviewing some important facts about these two topics. With this information, you can better understand our approach to dealing with the issue of a mosquito infestation:
Mosquito Behavior
If you think that standing water attracts mosquitoes, you’re not wrong. However, you may assume that only larger bodies of water can provide mosquitoes with the necessary conditions for breeding. In fact, these insects only require a small amount of water in order to increase their populations exponentially.
As a result, it is important to be very careful when investigating potential areas of standing water on your lawn. To ensure you don’t overlook a detail, get started with our mosquito control services, which include a thorough property assessment that will help you reduce the potential for mosquitoes to breed in your outdoor space.
Mosquito Risks
You’ve likely dealt with the nuisance that mosquito bites bring. These itchy, stinging welts can keep you up at night and are unsightly to look at. While this is reason enough to avoid mosquitoes, it must also be said that there are a number of other health risks that come with being bitten. Mosquitoes are known vectors of serious diseases, ranging from West Nile to Zika and malaria. Their bites can also be particularly harmful for dogs and cats, as they can spread heartworm disease.
