Mosquito Treatment and Control in Thonotosassa

Risks of Mosquitoes in Thonotosassa

Even as organizations and governments take action against mosquitoes on a large scale, these parasitic pests continue to be a threat at homes and businesses. Ranging from irritating to dangerous, mosquitoes are a concern because of their:

• Bites – The greatest challenge associated with mosquitoes. These red bumps itch for a day or two at minimum, with some lasting a week or more. An area swarming with mosquitoes can result in dozens of bites in a short span of time, which often ruin your ability to enjoy your day.
  
  
• Viruses – West Nile Virus, Dengue Fever, St. Louis Encephalitis, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Zika, and other dangerous illnesses are all spread from mosquitoes to humans. There are several species of mosquitoes that spread these diseases in Thonotosassa, including the aegypti mosquito, albopictus mosquito, and the culex mosquito.
  
  
• Population Growth – Mosquitoes multiply quickly. The average female mosquito lays up to 100 eggs every three days. She can also live for up to a month, meaning thousands of offspring that soon become egg-laying adults themselves. The larger the population is allowed to become, the harder it is to control.

Year round warm and humid weather in Thonotosassa means that mosquitoes are especially numerous here. They are also hard to prevent since the local environment provides plenty of spaces for them to hide and breed, and since they fly, it is difficult to create barriers they cannot cross over.

Modern Mosquito Control

Because of the risks associated with mosquitoes and their bites, scientists have taken steps to limit their populations. Municipalities in Florida often take steps in public spaces to reduce the spread of disease, but mosquitoes can still be an issue in your landscape.
Professional mosquito treatments are applied around your yard in the spaces that normally harbor these biting pests, either as insects, eggs, or larvae. We target:

• Standing Water
• Grasses
• Bushes

These treatments kill mosquitoes on contact. They also continue to work over the next few weeks to prevent mosquitoes from returning to breed in your yard. Time and rainy weather will degrade the insecticides eventually, but we can always return for additional treatment to provide ongoing control.

Mosquito mist devices are another way to provide continuous mosquito control. These exciting and innovative devices use a timed spray that deters mosquitoes from entering your yard. We install them around your property so that they create an invisible barrier surrounding your yard that eliminates any incoming mosquitoes.
