Mosquito Treatment and Control in St. Petersburg, FL

Risks of Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are the world’s worst parasitic insect. Though mosquitoes also feed on nectar and plants, female mosquitoes need the iron and protein found in the blood of mammals, including humans, in order to lay eggs. During the process of feeding, they will also transfer saliva into the host. The saliva causes an allergic reaction which results in the itchy welt we associate with mosquito bites.

But the itch is not the only problem. Mosquito saliva can also contain strains of viruses that can be spread between hosts. Common viruses spread by mosquitoes include:

• West Nile Virus
• Zika Virus
• Malaria and Others

Throughout the world, mosquito-borne illnesses kill tens of thousands of people each year. While malaria and zika are currently eradicated in North America, the West Nile virus is still responsible for nearly 200 illnesses each year, some of which are fatal. Eastern Equine Encephalitis, spread by mosquitoes, is fatal in as many as 75% of the reported cases.

Mosquito Elimination Services in St. Petersburg

We start our mosquito treatment by inspecting a property to determine any hot spots for these pests, including places where they are laying eggs like standing water and bushes. Then we apply pesticides to exterminate the mosquitoes on the property and their eggs. These pesticides will continue to repel mosquitoes for up to several weeks, leaving your yard free of biting pests.

The insecticides we use for mosquito control are designed to be effective for a long period of time. However, rain and time will result in them eventually breaking down and allowing mosquitoes to return. These treatments are a great option to keep your yard free of mosquitoes for a short time like an event or summer, while recurring visits can provide ongoing mosquito protection.

Ongoing Mosquito Control with Mist Devices

Our other option for lasting control is the mosquito mist device. These exciting devices are new to the pest control world, and we are excited to be one of the few companies offering installation in St. Petersburg. When installed in strategic places around your property, the devices emit gentle sprays of a pesticide that exterminates and repels mosquitoes.
These devices make it possible to keep your property free of mosquitoes throughout the year, all without frequent visits by our team.
