Mosquito Treatment and Control in Holiday

Risks of Mosquito-Borne Illnesses

Mosquitoes are mostly disliked for the itchy bites they cause, which can last for days at a time and ruin your outdoor activities. But these pests can also carry dangerous, even fatal, diseases. As mosquitoes feed on people and animals, they consume blood while passing a small bit of saliva back to the host. If a mosquito has fed on an infected animal, the mosquito can carry the vectors for those viruses. The mosquito can then transfer the virus to the next person it bites through saliva.
In Holiday, mosquitoes have been shown to spread:

• West Nile Virus
• Zika Virus
• St. Louis Encephalitis
• La Crosse Encephalitis

These viruses can cause a range of symptoms. Fever, headaches, exhaustion, and aches are common. Extreme cases of encephalitis, or brain swelling, can occur with some viruses. Elderly people and, in the case of Zika, pregnant women, are at greater risk after receiving a bite from an infected mosquito.

Mosquito-borne illnesses infect over 50,000 people in the U.S. each year, many of which occur in Florida due to the larger mosquito population.

One Time and Ongoing Mosquito Control Solutions

The best way to reduce the chances of mosquito bites and illnesses is to limit populations around your home. We do this by treating the places mosquitoes live, such as in bushes and grass. We also apply treatment to standing water in your yard where eggs and larvae thrive.

These mosquito treatments in Holiday kill mosquitoes on contact, providing immediate pest control. Because they eliminate mosquitoes at every life stage, the treatments also limit the number of mosquitoes in the following weeks.

Mosquito Mist Devices

Another option for ongoing pest control are mosquito mist devices. This exciting technology is programmable, and releases a repellant that keeps mosquitoes away. We can discuss the options with the devices and install them around your yard if your property is compatible. They work for up to several years to deter mosquitoes from entering your area.
