Mosquito Treatment and Control in Lake Magdalene

What Makes Mosquitoes So Dangerous?

Hundreds of illnesses can be spread through a mosquito bite. In Lake Magdalene alone, West Nile virus, eastern equine encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, and recently Zika have all been present in the area, among many illnesses both mild and severe. Mosquitoes can also transmit illnesses that make dogs and cats sick as well.

Mosquitoes transmit disease by first biting an infected person or animal and ingesting the pathogens in the blood they consume. In their next meal, they transfer some of their saliva containing the virus back into their new host. With millions of mosquitoes in Lake Magdalene, and the fact that this area has some of the most deadly mosquitoes in the country, the rare chance of serious illness is still a risk.

But even without diseases, the itching mosquitoes cause can ruin an entire summer. The saliva mosquitoes transfer during a bite causes an allergic reaction in people. This is what creates the annoying, itchy welts we associate with these pests. For many people, these bites alone are enough to require elimination of mosquitoes, even before the potential for disease.

How We Approach Mosquito Control

The best way to keep mosquitoes out of your yard is to both limit areas that attract them and apply repellents. Removing attractors will keep mosquitoes from coming to your home to lay eggs, and treatments can deter mosquitoes that might be present in nearby properties from coming to your yard for a meal. We rely on:

• Property Inspections – No one understands mosquito behavior better than our highly trained team. We know what attracts mosquitoes, where they are hiding, and what steps you need to get rid of them. Our mosquito control starts with an inspection of your property and suggestions on removing areas that can bring mosquitoes.
  
  
• Traditional Mosquito Treatment – For more advanced mosquito control, we use insecticides around your home and throughout a yard. These kill mosquitoes instantly, giving you a yard free of biting pests within hours and also provide protection for several weeks after. We encourage you to remove standing water, but if you have areas of standing water that cannot be removed, we can also treat that water as well.
  
  
• Mosquito Mist Devices – Ongoing protection from mosquitoes can be provided by this new and innovative technology. By releasing a spray to deter mosquitoes on a timer, your yard has year-round protection.

When you want to eliminate mosquitoes, a professional technician from our team will discuss your goals and timeline to create an appropriate treatment plan. Our methods can work both residential and commercial properties, including restaurants, event spaces, parks, golf courses, and more.

But mosquitoes, perhaps more than any other insect, are a scourge on the planet. In addition, if you are getting dozens of mosquito bites from spending time outdoors in your own backyard, it is time to seek professional pest control.
