How Mosquito Control Works
Mosquitoes can be described as nothing less than a problematic pest. The first problem with mosquitoes is that they bite, well the females bite. Female mosquitoes require a blood meal in order to get the necessary proteins she needs to create her eggs. The female uses her specially designed mouthparts to bite through the skin of her victim and then uses her long nose to suck up the blood. After being bitten her victim is usually left with a red, itchy bump that in the cases of some people can become quite swollen and unsightly.
The second problem with mosquitoes is the diseases that they can spread to both people and animals because of the female’s feeding habits. The diseases that they can spread, if not prevented against or treated for, can lead to serious health consequences for their victims. Mosquitoes are known for spreading many diseases including the Zika virus, encephalitis, the West Nile virus, and are known for commonly infecting our beloved pets with the potentially fatal canine heartworm.
The third problem with mosquitoes is that you just can’t seem to get away from them, they are found almost everywhere! And while this is true, there are effective ways to reduce their numbers on your property; allowing you and your family to enjoy spending time in your yard once again.
