Why All Mosquitoes Are a Problem
Mosquitoes are more than just an irritant when they prick a person’s exposed skin. As one of North America’s most dangerous pests, they can carry serious diseases that harm humans and animals. Mosquitoes can ruin outdoor activities such as playing in the yard, grilling, and gardening. And with conditions right, a backyard can be the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Reducing the number of mosquitoes around the perimeter of your home is essential for your health and comfort.
Mosquitoes are extremely resilient insects despite being fragile in appearance. They can be identified by their slender bodies with long legs, one pair of scaled wings, and most are approximately 1/4″in size. The type of adult mosquito that is responsible for West Nile Virus is typically grayish brown or brown and lacks distinctive markings. Female mosquitoes draw blood from a variety of animals. They normally rest during the day and feed at dusk or nighttime.
Mosquitoes love water and can breed in standing water anywhere such as:
- Small pools
- Ponds
- Marshes
- Leaves of plants
- Water in tree holes
- Drainage ditches
- In containers
Mosquito Control Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mosquito control services cost?
Mosquitos are among the most significant nuisance pests during North Carolina summers. The size of the treatment area usually determines mosquito control costs. Larger yards require larger treatment areas that take more time to complete, as well as more product to finish the job. Another factor for mosquito control prices is the number of treatments booked. Mosquito treatments last an average of three weeks, and homeowners often schedule multiple control appointments to keep their yards pest-free all summer long. DIY mosquito control products are costly and won’t last for an extended period. For long-term treatment, professional applications are a must. Mosquitos are not only a nuisance, but also cause uncomfortable skin reactions and can transmit diseases. For each mosquito control treatment, the cost is usually around $65 to $80
What diseases do mosquitoes commonly carry?
In the Charlotte service area, West Nile virus and Chikungunya, are the most common mosquito-borne threats to health. In other parts of the world mosquitoes can spread very serious diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. Some diseases spread by mosquitoes, including West Nile virus, can cause serious conditions such as encephalitis. The word “Zika” was introduced to most of us in 2016, as warnings for athletes and visitors of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil were issued. The Zika Virus and its ensuing ailments, such as microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome, is transmitted by the “yellow fever” mosquito known as Aedes aegypti.
How can I reduce mosquitoes around my home?
Prevent new mosquitoes by halting the breeding process. Mosquitoes love standing water, as that’s where they lay their eggs. Up to 300 young mosquitoes can emerge from just one tablespoon of water, so it’s crucial to eliminate standing water from bird baths, buckets, tires, pots, inflatable pools and gutters. Fill in outdoor puddles with dirt. Put screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes from breeding inside in water glasses or shower puddles.
How can I protect myself and family from mosquitoes?
The CDC recommends using an EPA-registered insect repellent for protection. Follow all label directions, especially when applying on children-. Avoid using it on infants under two months old. Consider alternative natural insect repellents, such as ones containing citronella and geraniol, or oils that include lemongrass, cedar, rosemary, peppermint and cinnamon. Consumer Reports notes that natural insect repellents tend to wear off very quickly – so keep this in mind. Wear lightweight long sleeves and pants and full-coverage shoes. Use mosquito netting over strollers and baby carriers.
