Mosquitos
Southern House Mosquito
These brownish mosquitoes are common and often associated with urban areas, breeding in standing water.
Western Encephalitis Mosquito
They are known to transmit diseases and are often found in agricultural and rural areas.
Aedes Mosquito
These small, dark mosquitoes are potential disease vectors and can breed in small containers of water in residential areas.
Anopheles Mosquito
Anopheles mosquitoes can transmit diseases like West Nile virus and are often found near water sources.
Signs of Infestation
Mosquito Bites
Frequent mosquito bites on humans or pets, particularly during outdoor activities.
Mosquito Larvae
Detecting mosquito larvae in water sources like bird baths, ponds, or rain barrels.
Standing Water
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Check for puddles, containers, or clogged gutters where larvae might develop.
What To Do Next
Source Reduction: Eliminate standing water sources, like containers, to prevent mosquito breeding.
Larvicides: Use targeted larvicides to treat water bodies where mosquito larvae thrive.
Adulticides (When Needed): Apply insecticides, preferably by professionals, for immediate control of adult mosquitoes, especially in high-risk areas.
By integrating chemical solutions into your pest management plan, you can effectively combat mosquitoes while prioritizing safety and health.
