Mosquito control is the practice of managing and reducing mosquito populations in order to reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases and provide relief from mosquito bites. Mosquito control measures typically include both preventative and remedial actions, including:

1. Source reduction: This involves eliminating standing water and other mosquito breeding sites, such as clogged gutters, abandoned pools, and discarded tires.
2. Larviciding: This involves applying pesticides to standing water to kill mosquito larvae before they can develop into adults.
3. Adulticiding: This involves spraying pesticides to kill adult mosquitoes.

Mosquito Jane provides the best value in mosquito control services because of how we treat your yard using superior products and superior service.

What are mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes are small flying insects belonging to the family Culicidae. They are found all over the world and there are more than 3,500 species of mosquitoes. The females of most species feed on the blood of animals, including humans, in order to obtain the protein needed to develop their eggs. Male mosquitoes feed only on nectar from flowers.

Mosquitoes have slender bodies, long legs, and narrow wings. They have a proboscis, which is a long, thin mouthpart used for piercing skin and sucking blood. Mosquitoes are typically active during the dawn and dusk hours, but some species are active during the day or night.

While mosquitoes are known for being a nuisance due to their bites, they can also transmit a variety of diseases to humans and animals, such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus.

Are mosquitoes dangerous?

Mosquitoes can be dangerous to humans and animals. Female mosquitoes require a blood meal to produce eggs, and in the process of feeding, they can transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, yellow fever, and West Nile virus, among others.

Mosquito-borne diseases can cause a range of symptoms, from mild flu-like symptoms to severe and potentially life-threatening conditions, depending on the virus and the individual’s immune system. Mosquitoes can also transmit parasites, such as the one that causes heartworm in dogs, which can be fatal if left untreated.

In addition to the health risks, mosquito bites can also cause skin irritation, itching, and swelling.

While not all mosquitoes transmit disease, it is important to take precautions to protect yourself and your pets from mosquito bites, especially in areas where mosquito-borne diseases are prevalent. This can include using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and eliminating breeding sites, such as standing water, around your home or business.

Why do I have a mosquito problem?

Mosquitoes need certain conditions to thrive, including warm temperatures, standing water, and areas with vegetation. Some reasons why you may have a mosquito problem could include:

1. Standing water: Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so if you have any sources of standing water around your property, such as birdbaths, flowerpots, or clogged gutters, mosquitoes may be breeding there.
2. Vegetation: Mosquitoes rest during the day in areas with dense vegetation, tall grass, and bushes. If you have an overgrown lawn or garden, you may be providing a habitat for mosquitoes to rest and hide.
3. Climate: Mosquitoes are more active in warm temperatures and high humidity, which are common conditions during the summer months.
4. Geographical location: Certain areas of the world are more prone to mosquito infestations due to the presence of standing water, climate, and vegetation.
5. Outdoor lighting: Mosquitoes are attracted to light, so if you have outdoor lights that are bright and left on at night, it may be attracting mosquitoes to your property.

To reduce your mosquito problem, it’s important to eliminate sources of standing water around your property, keep your lawn and garden trimmed and well-maintained, and use mosquito repellent when outdoors. If you have a severe mosquito problem, you may want to consider hiring a pest control professional to help control the mosquito population.

Where will I find mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes can be found in a variety of habitats and environments, but they are most commonly found near areas with standing water, such as:

1. Ponds, lakes, and rivers
2. Bird baths and fountains
3. Gutters and downspouts
4. Puddles and stagnant water
5. Containers like flowerpots, buckets, and old tires

Mosquitoes are also attracted to areas with vegetation, such as tall grass, bushes, and trees, which provide shade and shelter during the day. During the hot, sunny hours of the day, mosquitoes rest in cool, shady areas, such as under trees or on the undersides of leaves.

Mosquitoes are most active during the dawn and dusk hours when temperatures are cooler and humidity is higher. However, some species of mosquitoes are active during the day or night.

In general, if you live in an area with warm temperatures and high humidity, and there are sources of standing water and vegetation nearby, you are likely to encounter mosquitoes. To reduce your risk of mosquito bites, it’s important to take steps to eliminate breeding sites and use mosquito repellent when outdoors.

How do I get rid of mosquitoes?

It’s as simple as contacting Mosquito Jane.

There are several steps you can take to help get rid of mosquitoes:

1. Eliminate standing water: Mosquitoes need standing water to breed, so removing any sources of standing water around your property can help reduce their numbers. This includes emptying birdbaths, cleaning gutters, and removing any containers that can hold water.
2. Keep your yard well-maintained: Mosquitoes rest in areas with dense vegetation, tall grass, and bushes. Keeping your lawn and garden trimmed and well-maintained can help reduce mosquito resting areas.
3. Use mosquito repellent: Applying mosquito repellent containing DEET or another EPA-registered ingredient can help prevent mosquito bites.
4. Install mosquito nets: If you have outdoor seating areas or are camping, installing mosquito nets can help keep mosquitoes away.
5. Use mosquito traps: There are several types of mosquito traps available, including CO2, UV light, and heat-based traps. These traps can help capture and kill mosquitoes in your yard.
6. Hire a Mosquito Jane: If you have a severe mosquito problem, Mosquito Jane can help eliminate the problem and prevent future infestations.

It’s important to note that eliminating mosquitoes entirely is nearly impossible, but taking these steps can help reduce their numbers and minimize the risk of bites and disease transmission.
