Mosquito Treatment and Control in Pahokee, FL

Understanding Mosquitoes

There are 80 different species of mosquitoes in Florida, thankfully only about 10 of them are troublesome to humans. A mature female mosquito lays eggs in standing water. The type of water they prefer varies by species, but for our purpose here, think of areas of standing water in your backyard. Like a caterpillar, mosquitos progress through a larval and pupal stage. After a short larval and pupal stage, an adult mosquito emerges from the water. Most species of mosquitos fly no more than 300 feet from where they hatch. Mosquitoes eat plant nectar for energy; it is only the females that bite. She uses the blood drawn during the bite to produce eggs, further contributing to your problem.

We Find and Eliminate Mosquitoes From Your Property

Whether you regularly and consistently want a mosquito free yard, or you are hosting a BBQ or outdoor event such as a wedding or party, we have the knowledge, equipment, and ability to solve your mosquito problem.

Our Mosquito Program has two parts. First, we prevent larvae from turning into biting adults, secondly we kill the adult mosquitoes. While it is always good practice to empty standing water in your yard, sometimes it takes the trained eye of an experienced professional to find the mosquito breeding site. All mosquitoes need water for the eggs to turn into adult mosquitoes. Sometimes water accumulates in places that you don’t think of such as a tarp on a boat, in the gutters, or at a leaky faucet. There are some areas of water, such as a birdbath, that cannot be emptied. We can treat these areas with a product that is completely safe for people and pets but kills the mosquito larvae.

But what about the adult mosquitoes that are currently biting you! We have a plan for that too. During the day, mosquitoes rest on the underside of bushes and shrubs. Nextgen Pest Solutions’ Mosquito Program treats all the mosquito resting spots in your yard and around your home with a high-powered mist blower containing a pesticide. When the adult mosquitoes land on the areas we have treated they will die. As recommended by Entomologists, we follow Integrated Pest Management practices in our approach to mosquito treatments. This program will give you the knockdown you need to weed your garden, enjoy your porch swing, or have that party.

The most common reason that we are called for mosquitoes is the irritation of the bite, but diseases such as West Nile Virus and Zika are a real concern too. Pahokee’s wet rich farmland plays host to ideal mosquito breeding sites. Did you know that the Department of Health strategically places flocks of sentinel chickens around Palm Beach County? Blood from these chickens is tested weekly for mosquito borne illnesses. In 2019 chickens in Pahokee tested positive for the West Nile Virus.
