Spring and Summer is the time when Mosquito populations begin to expand. Left untreated, they can take over your yard. It is not uncommon for homeowners to discover that they cannot use their yard because of mosquitoes. Mosquito bites are more than just a nuisance. They can transmit several serious health-threatening sicknesses – including West Nile Virus. Skyline can help you take your yard back!
After a rain, mosquito eggs deposited previously hatch into larva. These larva are called "wigglers" for obvious reasons. If you have ever examined a standing pool of water that has been still for a few days you will observe hundreds of them wiggling around. Within 7 days of the moisture activating the eggs, adult mosquitoes emerge.
Their first order of business is to find a blood meal which is required so that they can reproduce. During the morning and the heat of the day the adults rest in shaded areas – bushes, tall grass, the underside of decks, trees, awnings, roof overhangs – anywhere there is protection from direct sunlight. In the early hours of evening they emerge and begin the search for their victims.
Skyline will utilize a multi-faceted approach to eliminate current populations as well as controlling future problems. Our on-going Mosquito Reduction Program is most effective when utilized from April to October.
Your state-certified Skyline Pest Specialist will work with you to:
- Inspect and identify potential breeding sites.
- Breeding sites that cannot be eliminated will be treated to eradicate mosquito larvae.
- All resting areas on your entire property will then be treated targeting the adult population.
- Finally, your Pest Specialist will educate you to make sure that the program achieves maximum effectiveness.
Mosquito Prevention: Tiny Pest, Major Concerns
Mosquitoes can become an incredible nuisance to the point they actually deter you from venturing into the backyard during some of the nicest times of the year. Moreover, mosquito control is important as they pose a significant health risk due to diseases they can carry like West Nile Virus and Encephalitis which can be transmitted to your family and pets through a single bite.
While mosquitoes tend to be the most bothersome at twilight and in the early morning, conditions around the home can promote their activity all day long, dramatically limiting your enjoyment of your outdoor living space both night and day. It's a serious issue, which is why you should give serious consideration to a customized mosquito control program for your home.
