Although mosquito-borne illnesses are much less prevalent in the United States than in other corners of the globe, it is\u00a0important\u00a0to stay vigilant and minimize your exposure to mosquito bites.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Allergic reactions.\u00a0<\/strong>Mosquito saliva contains specific proteins that can cause an unpleasant immune system reaction in\u00a0certain\u00a0individuals.\u00a0If you deal with this type of allergy, you may encounter more than itchy welts after being bitten by mosquitoes, with swelling and soreness that lasts for weeks at a time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heartworm disease.\u00a0<\/strong>If you are a pet owner, it is also\u00a0important\u00a0to be aware of the risk\u00a0that mosquitoes represent for the health of your four-legged friends.\u00a0Mosquitoes are vectors of the parasite that causes heartworm disease, which can be fatal for\u00a0both\u00a0cats and dogs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Get Relief From Mosquitoes Through Mosquito Control in Portage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20name%3D%22uuid%22%20content%3D%22uuidq95EC7bVHOje%22%20%2F%3E-->Find relief from the disturbance of mosquitoes\u00a0and protect your family from the health risks they pose\u00a0by getting started with professional mosquito control provided by our experienced team.\u00a0We conduct extensive walk-throughs of our client&#8217;s properties to help them minimize vulnerabilities that could attract mosquitoes and allow them to breed.
