At Lawn Doctor of Teaneck, we offer effective and comprehensive mosquito control services for the Leonia area. Our team will carefully go about reducing both the number of mosquitoes on your property and your family’s risk of being bitten.
Facing the Threat of Mosquitoes in Leonia
Mosquitoes aren’t just an annoyance that must be endured as part of the summer season. They are also vectors of serious diseases that can cause lasting health problems. Examples of mosquito-borne diseases are listed below:
- Zika virus
- West Nile virus
- Chikungunya virus
- Dengue
- Malaria
These diseases can be responsible for everything from mild symptoms to severe health concerns. In some cases, they can even lead to death. In fact, mosquitoes are the cause of over one million deaths worldwide on an annual basis.
Some people can also be allergic to mosquito bites. When their body recognizes the proteins found in the saliva of female mosquitoes, their immune system kicks into high gear, making bites especially painful for these individuals.
Finally, it’s important to remember that animals can also be harmed by mosquitoes. For example, heartworm is the most common mosquito-borne disease for dogs and cats. When mosquitoes bite these animals, they can transmit a tiny parasite that grows into a large heartworm and lives in the animal’s bloodstream, causing breathing difficulties and potential heart failure.
