Mosquito Treatment and Control in Trinity

Risks of Diseases Transmitted by Mosquitoes

Throughout the world, mosquitoes are vectors of disease for several harmful or even fatal viruses. In Trinity, local mosquitoes are known to carry:

• West Nile Virus
• LaCrosse Encephalitis
• St. Louis Encephalitis
• Dengue Fever

They also contributed to the recent outbreak of Zika Virus seen in past years. These viruses can cause fevers, aching, rashes, nausea, and, in the most extreme cases, death or permanent disability. The risk of a mosquito transmitting a virus through a bite is low, but still possible, which means the fewer bites you receive, the safer you and your family will be.

For this reason, and because of the general annoyance mosquitoes cause even without infected bites, it is important to reduce your contact with these insects. Taking precautions with bug spray and long clothing can help if you are out and about, but if mosquitoes have overtaken your yard, more comprehensive control may be needed.

How We Approach Mosquito Control

There are several ways to limit the numbers of mosquitoes on your private property, all which can be combined or used individually depending on the risk factors of biting pests in your area and your personal preferences. The solutions we use include:

• Removing What Attracts Them – Even if you have taken care to remove areas that collect water where mosquitoes lay eggs, there might be less obvious places that are missed. Mud puddles, clogged gutters, and even the small area of a leaf can provide enough space for breeding several hundred eggs. We also seek out shaded areas where mosquitoes are likely to rest during daylight hours.
  
  
• Adult Insect Treatments – Mosquito treatments use people and pet safe insecticides on the bushes, grasses, trees, and other areas of vegetation where these pests land. This eliminates them instantly, but also makes the treated surface inhospitable for the following weeks.
  
  
• Standing Water Treatments – Non toxic insecticides and microbials are applied to the water where eggs and mosquito larvae live as they develop. By removing all young mosquitoes from your property, we significantly limit the number of future biting adult mosquitoes.
  
  
• Mosquito Mist Devices – For a more maintenance free option that still provides year round mosquito control, we install mist devices at the borders of your yard or the area you wish to keep clear of mosquitoes. This technology infuses the air with a regularly refreshed repellent to deter mosquitoes.

An inspection of your yard and nearby areas can provide recommendations for which mosquito management plans will have the most benefits. In low risk areas, it can often be enough to address elements that draw mosquitoes in. But traditional treatments and mist devices can go further if prevention methods are not enough.
