Mosquito Treatment and Control in Keystone

Characteristics and Dangers of Mosquitoes

One of the best known bloodsucking insects, mosquitoes require the nutrients in mammalian blood to create their eggs. It is only the females that bite. The males survive off of nectar and plant materials. Meanwhile females consume blood every three days, laying approximately 100 eggs in between bites. Over the course of her lifetime, a female mosquito can lay thousands of eggs.

Mosquitoes feed through a mouthpiece called a proboscis, formed of several tiny needle-like structures they can insert into the skin of a person or animal. While they consume blood through this mouthpiece, they release their saliva back into their host. In humans, the reaction to this saliva is what causes the inflamed sores we recognize as mosquito bites.

It is the bites that cause the most distress. But the exchange of saliva and blood means that these tiny insects can carry certain diseases, especially if they first pick them up from an infected person or animal. Here in Keystone, mosquitoes have carried West Nile virus, several types of encephalitis, LaCrosse virus, and recently the Zika virus. Although rare, any of these diseases can be transmitted into a person’s bloodstream during a mosquito bite.

How We Remove Mosquitoes in Keystone

We recognize how dangerous mosquitoes can be. In addition to simply being annoying, the itchy bumps and risks of disease mean that anyone struggling with mosquitoes deserves additional help. Modern pest control has created several methods of mitigating a mosquito population, and we have all of them ready to use at Nextgen Pest Solutions. Our team offers:

• Inspections – All of our mosquito control starts with an inspection. This allows us to understand what’s bringing mosquitoes, how they are coming in, and where they are laying eggs and living. In some cases, we can find and remove any of the issues that are causing mosquitoes, thereby reducing the population.
  
  
• One Time and Ongoing Control – Whether you need a few weeks without mosquitoes for an outdoor event or continuous control, we can remove mosquitoes from anywhere in your yard. We treat the landscape elements that harbor mosquitoes until none are left. The treatments will last for several weeks, at which time we can return to refresh the application.
  
  
• New Technology – The recent introduction of mosquito mist devices to the Keystone market makes year round mosquito control possible without regular visits from our pest control team. We can install these devices in strategic areas around your yard to keep mosquitoes from entering.

Even if the number of mosquitoes in your backyard seems small now, it will likely grow. These pests lay hundreds of eggs at a time, and adult insects will usually stay within a mile of where they were born. As mosquitoes continue to breed, their population will expand exponentially in your area without proactive treatment.
