Mosquito Treatment and Control in Carrollwood

What Makes Mosquitoes Dangerous?

Mosquitoes are more than an inconvenience. They are a potential health hazard. Almost everyone has received a mosquito bite at some point and knows how irritating and itchy they can be. The bite is an allergic reaction to the insect’s saliva which is transferred into a person’s skin while the mosquito consumes blood.

But problems occur when the mosquito has consumed infected blood, either from a person or animal with a virus. The mosquito can then transmit this infection through their saliva to the next people they bite. Common viruses that mosquitoes are known to carry include:

• West Nile Virus
• Zika Virus
• Equine Encephalitis
• St. Louis Encephalitis and More

Cases of all of these viruses occur annually in Florida, except for Zika which has not been seen for a few years after early breakouts. Florida, including Carrollwood, has many of the worst mosquito species, increasing our risk here compared to other parts of the country. Many of these diseases cause severe illness, and in some cases, death.

How We Treat Mosquitoes in Your Yard

Our mosquito control services begin with a complete, detailed inspection to identify areas that attract mosquitoes. If you’re frequently finding them in your home, our inspection can look for any opportunities they have to enter your home through unscreened windows, cracks or holes, and additional entry points.

In order to eliminate mosquitoes, we have to target insects at every stage of their life. Simply removing adult insects leaves larvae and eggs that will reach adulthood in a matter of weeks and continue to swarm a property. We apply insecticides formulated to mosquitoes at each life stage to locations where they are known to hide or lay eggs such as:

• Grass
• Bushes
• Stagnant Water

Treatments will continue to repel mosquitoes in the weeks after application, and recurring visits can ensure ongoing mosquito control at your home. We also have the option to install mosquito mist devices. New to the industry, this technology can deter mosquitoes from entering your yard all year long without requiring ongoing pest control visits, and is capable of preventing mosquitoes from other properties nearby.
