Mosquitoes are one of the most dreaded nuisance pests, but they can be extremely dangerous as well! Especially in the spring and summer in Georgia, these pesky insects can quickly turn any outdoor event sour. Mosquitoes are most known for the nasty bite they leave behind. In most cases, a mosquito bite will cause red, itchy bumps. Globally, mosquitoes are infamous for carrying and transmitting a number of dangerous diseases.

While rare, it’s always important to team up with a professional mosquito control company to protect you and your family year-round. The experts at Active Pest Control have the knowledge and the skills to keep your yard free of mosquitoes all year long.

What Are the Risks of Mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance—they are a severe health threat. These pests can transmit dangerous diseases such as Zika, West Nile virus, Dengue, and more. Even in areas where these diseases are rare, mosquito bites can cause allergic reactions, leading to itchy, inflamed welts. If mosquitoes have bitten you and are concerned about your symptoms, it’s always best to seek medical advice.

FAQS

What Attracts Mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes are primarily attracted to carbon dioxide, which humans and animals exhale, drawing them to areas with high activity. They are also attracted to heat, sweat, and specific body odors. Additionally, standing water is a significant attractant, providing an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes to lay their eggs.

How Often Do You Spray For Mosquitoes?

Mosquito spraying is typically done monthly during peak season to reduce mosquito populations and ensure ongoing protection effectively. If you are experiencing challenges, contact our mosquito experts.

How Does Mosquito Treatment Work?

Mosquito treatment targets adult mosquitoes and their larvae. It involves spraying a barrier around your property that kills mosquitoes on contact and creates ongoing protection. Additionally, larvicides are applied to standing water to prevent larvae from maturing. This approach effectively reduces the mosquito population and offers long-lasting protection.

How Fast Do Mosquitoes Reproduce?

Mosquitoes reproduce rapidly, with most species completing their life cycle in as little as 7 to 10 days under favorable conditions. Female mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water, and within a few days, the eggs hatch into larvae, then pupate and emerge as adult mosquitoes. This rapid reproduction cycle is why addressing mosquito problems promptly is essential to prevent infestations from escalating.

How To Get Rid Of Mosquitoes Outdoors?

To get rid of mosquitoes outdoors, start by eliminating standing water where they breed, such as in birdbaths, gutters, and containers. Regularly mow your lawn and trim bushes to reduce resting places for adult mosquitoes. Use mosquito traps, citronella candles, or fans to keep mosquitoes at bay during outdoor activities. For more comprehensive and lasting results, our professional mosquito control treatments, like barrier sprays or misting systems significantly reduce mosquito populations and keep your outdoor spaces enjoyable.
