Mosquito Treatment and Control in Roswell, GA

Understanding Mosquitoes in Roswell, GA

There are 63 different species of mosquitoes in Georgia, 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 mosquitoes 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.

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. If the mosquitos are so troublesome that you are reading this, you have probably already dumped the water from the wheelbarrow! Sometimes water is accumulating in the gutters or at a leaky faucet. There are some areas of water, such as a birdbath, that can not be emptied. We can treat these areas with a product that is completely safe for people and pets but kills the mosquito larvae.

Controlling mosquitoes before they reach the adult stage is certainly a worthwhile endeavor, but it does nothing for the mosquitoes that are currently biting you! 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. As recommended by Entomologists at the University of Georgia, 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. In 2019 a Roswell resident contracted West Nile Virus from a mosquito bite. She waged a successful fight for her life, but she was hospitalized for two weeks. Thankfully, she has a good prognosis and will likely make a full recovery, however, this story underscores the important public health benefit of managing mosquito populations in your yard or at your business.
