Mosquito Treatment and Control in Seven Springs

Mosquito Biology and Their Risks

Like most insects, mosquitoes go through four distinct stages. They are born from eggs and begin their lives as larvae in water. Depending on the species of mosquito, the eggs are either laid in a flood area that will later be filled with water when it rains, or are laid directly in water. Larvae spend their first week feeding on bacteria on the surface of the water.
Upon becoming adult insects, mosquitoes begin feeding instantly. Male and female mosquitoes consume plant nectar. But females must also consume blood from mammals to provide the nutrients they require for creating eggs. Biting these different hosts allow the female mosquito to create about 100 eggs every three days.

It is the female mosquitoes as adult insects that are the most challenging. Their bites are what cause the irritating welts we associate with mosquitoes, due to an allergic reaction to their saliva. That same saliva is causes not only bites, but disease, as mosquitoes can carry viruses from one animal to another that is then transferred to humans during the bites.

Traditional Mosquito Removal in Seven Springs, FL

Mosquito control uses applications of non-toxic insecticides around your home that kill mosquitoes on contact and make their habitats unattractive or even deadly in the following weeks. We apply these treatments to:

• Bushes and Grass – The insecticides we place in areas of vegetation are targeted at the adult insects that hide within to escape the harsh sunlight during the day.
  
  
• Water – Treatments for water include insecticides and microbial applications that make the area inhabitable for eggs, larvae, and pupae, eliminating mosquitoes at any stage to prevent new adults.
  
  
• Flood Areas – In addition to visible standing water, our technicians will also look for areas that might fill with water during a rainstorm as these can also hold eggs waiting to hatch.

The duration of a single mosquito control treatment is several weeks with our long lasting pest control application. The exact timeline depends on factors such as weather and lawn/landscape care. We can then come back for repeat visits to continually keep mosquitoes away.

All-Year Management with Mist Devices

While traditional mosquito control can remove mosquitoes temporarily and requires follow up applications, we can also install technology that offers ongoing protection. This is a newer advancement in mosquito control, but one that has proven successful in reducing mosquito populations in a yard throughout the year.

These devices are placed as a barrier around your property. We can discuss options, pricing, and what you can expect from this type of mosquito control in your yard. If you choose it, we can place the necessary devices properly in your yard to offer the most effective ongoing protection available.
