Fun Fact About Mosquitoes 🦟

Mosquitoes are one of the slowest flying insects. The average mosquito’s top speed is around 1 to 1.5 miles per hour (mph). In comparison, horseflies can fly up to 90 mph!

All About Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are small, flying insects known for their relentless bites and unfortunate role as disease vectors.

So, Why Do Mosquitoes Bite?

Female mosquitoes bite humans and animals to obtain the necessary proteins for egg development. Male mosquitoes don’t bite and instead feed on plant nectar. When a female mosquito bites, she pierces the skin with her proboscis and injects saliva into her victim to prevent blood clotting. This is what causes the itching and swelling around a mosquito bite.

Common Diseases Transmitted by Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are notorious for transmitting serious diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus. These diseases can lead to severe health complications, including encephalitis, meningitis, and microcephaly. West Nile virus is the most reported mosquito-borne disease in the United States.

How to Manage Mosquitoes Outside

You can reduce the chance of illness and bites by treating your yard for mosquitoes and taking steps toward mosquito prevention.

Mosquito Prevention Methods

Remove standing water – Mosquitoes are attracted to moisture, so remove standing water in your yard. Fix leaky hoses or faucets, and maintain good drainage to reduce moisture. If you have a pond, consider adding a fountain or aerator to prevent still water.
Encourage natural predators – Birds and dragonflies eat mosquitoes, among other natural predators. Add a bird feeder and plants with nectar to attract these beneficial creatures. You can also add fish to nearby ponds to reduce mosquito larvae.
Use natural deterrents – Plant various scented plants to repel mosquitoes: citronella, lavender, marigolds, mint and basil. You can also spray diluted essential oils to deter flying pests.

Professional Mosquito Treatment

Barrier treatment – Our pros apply a mosquito spray that kills the pest on contact and continues to avert them for up to 21 days.

Natural mosquito treatment – We spray a special combination of essential oils that deter mosquitoes, focusing on common areas where mosquitoes breed and thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mosquitoes

Where do mosquitoes lay their eggs?

Adult female mosquitoes lay their eggs along the surface of shallow and stagnant water, near standing water, or in moist soil. Common areas where mosquito eggs can be found include ponds, puddles, buckets and other containers that may collect rainwater, and even damp areas in a yard caused by poor drainage.

Why are there so many mosquitoes in my yard?

Yards with lots of mosquitoes likely have ideal conditions for mosquito reproduction, like:

Stagnant standing water
Clogged or dirty gutters
Excessive organic debris, overgrown vegetation, and old tree stumps
Unnecessary backyard belongings

Why is mosquito control important?

Mosquito control is crucial for reducing mosquito populations, preventing bites, and stopping the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.
