Mosquito Treatment and Control in Safety Harbor

Mosquito Risks and Characteristics

Mosquitoes are best known as a parasitic insect that feeds on the blood of humans or animals. The female requires the nutrients in blood to lay her eggs, often laying up to 100 at a time. This rapid laying rate means that mosquito populations can expand quickly during the breeding season.

When the female mosquitoes consume blood, they transfer some of their saliva into the host. In most animals, their saliva causes an allergic reaction that triggers the itchy, red welt that characterizes a mosquito bite. However, the ongoing transfer of blood and saliva also means that a mosquito can carry different viruses, like West Nile, and then transfer them to people during a bite.

While most mosquitoes do not carry viruses, any one of them potentially can. The majority of mosquito-borne illnesses happen in southern, warm, and humid states, like Florida, meaning the risk is greater here in Safety Harbor than it might be in other parts of the country.

Why Mosquitoes Are Present in Your Home

Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, and any source of water can both attract and play host to mosquitoes. This includes:

*Pools
* Bird Baths
* Dog bowls
* Gutters
* Mud Puddles and More

Eliminating mosquitoes begins with removing stagnant water from your yard. From there, our professional exterminators can devise a plan to fully remove and manage mosquitoes.

Ongoing Control with Mosquito Mist Devices

The newest and most exciting technology in mosquito control is the mist device. This specialized device is programmed to release a light spray on a timer. As it disperses through an area, the spray deters any mosquitoes. We can install these devices to create a protective barrier mosquitoes will not be able to cross, keeping them from coming into your yard from neighboring properties.

Mist devices provide ongoing protection without requiring repeated visits from Nextgen. While the initial cost can be higher than other treatment methods, fewer visits can eventually result in cost savings, all while ensuring a yard that is free of mosquitoes.

Immediate Onetime and Repeating Mosquito Control

With continuing innovations, traditional mosquito control with applications of the latest insecticides, remain an effective and affordable method for managing pest populations. We apply these solutions strategically throughout your property that are targeted to eliminate adult insects, larvae, and eggs in vegetation and water.

These treatments work immediately, meaning your yard will be free of mosquitoes once service is complete. They also offer continued coverage, repelling mosquitoes for up to several weeks depending on rain and weather conditions.

Once the chemicals weaken, we can return to reapply so that protection is restored. These pesticides are also safe for home use, even if you have children or pets, and make it much safer to be outside on your property.
