Mosquitoes are incredibly annoying pests that can ruin any outdoor activities. Due to their abundance and aggression, basic DIY remedies do not do a whole lot to resolve the issue. However, with professional mosquito control in the Englewood area, Lawn Doctor of Teaneck can provide fast and effective relief.
Our service includes property inspections and spray treatments to cut down these annoying pests at every stage of their life cycle. We also provide DIY tips and guidance to help local property owners cut down on standing water and prevent mosquito breeding on their properties. As part of this effort, we find it helpful to understand the nuances of the mosquito’s life cycle. Let’s go over the phases of their short and eventful existence.
Phases of the Mosquito Life Cycle
These tiny pests are rapid breeders, so the first step to protecting your home or business is to target their breeding habitats. In a single breeding season, one female mosquito can produce as many as 400 million progeny. These pests simply cannot be allowed to breed unchecked on your property. To protect your home or business, these pests need to be targeted at every stage. Here is how their life cycle progresses:
- Eggs. Mosquitoes can lay hundreds of eggs at a time, using a water source as small as a bottle cap. These eggs will group together on the surface in collections known as ‘rafts’.
- Larva. Eggs turn into larvae, and these early-stage mosquitoes live in the water, surfacing for air.
- Pupa. This is the stage where larvae turn into adult mosquitoes.
- Adult. Once they progress to adulthood, mosquitoes only need a day or two to adjust before they begin biting mammals and taking our blood.
Expert Mosquito Control in Englewood
The entire mosquito life cycle may last as little as 4 days, or as long as a month. While the exact time span may vary, one thing remains the same: these pests are annoying, abundant, and potentially dangerous. It is important to take strong action to not only target the adult populations buzzing around your yard but also to control their massive breeding process.
Mosquitoes rely on water for every phase of their life cycle, so we target sources of standing water throughout your yard. Our goal is to reduce their breeding habitats and cut off future generations before they can cause any harm. We also offer powerful treatments to cut down on adult populations and restore peaceful conditions to your property. Our fast, easy, and guaranteed mosquito control is available throughout:
