Mosquito Treatment and Control in Valrico

Mosquito Life Stages and Risks

The entire lifespan of a mosquito is no more than a couple of months, and they spend most of it within a radius of only a few miles. That’s why prevention is so important, as mosquitoes are more likely to stay local, and the rate at which they lay eggs and grow means that the number of mosquitoes will multiply quickly over the course of the breeding season. That’s why the best way to stop mosquitoes is to prevent them from coming to your property at all. The lifecycle of a mosquito includes:

• Eggs – Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water, often in clumps of a few hundred. The eggs will float for 2-3 days before hatching.
  
  
• Larvae – This stage lasts for about a week. After emerging from their eggs, larvae stay near the surface of the water and feed on small organic matter floating by.
  
  
• Pupae – As they transition into flying insects, the pupae develop in comma shaped cocoons that encase their heads. They do not eat during this time and emerge after about 4 days.
  
  
• Adult Insects – Fully grown mosquitoes are now able to fly and either lay or fertilize eggs. Male mosquitoes will survive off of nectar and plant juices, while females will also require animal blood for the nutrients to lay eggs. Males live for 3 to 5 days and females will live up to a month, continuing to lay eggs during that time.

As adults, mosquitoes have the potential to spread diseases like West Nile, eastern equine encephalitis, and more. They transmit these viruses through their saliva when they bite. While the average mosquito bite is caused by an allergic reaction to the saliva, infected mosquito bites can cause serious health problems or death.

Comprehensive Mosquito Treatment in Valrico, FL

Nextgen Pest Solutions uses an approach of inspection, prevention, and treatment to eliminate mosquitoes. In the inspection step, our exterminators survey the property, seeking out areas where mosquitoes might lay eggs or hide. We also look for any places the insects could enter your home and bite people indoors.

The exterminator will then make suggestions and improvements designed to remove the factors that bring mosquitoes to a property. These can include removing sources of standing water, trimming bushes, mowing lawns, repairing screens, and more. The suggestions are customized to your specific yard and needs.

Once we’ve taken steps to reduce mosquito populations naturally, we can apply special insecticides to the water, bushes, and grass that the insects normally inhabit. These remove mosquitoes at any life stage instantly, as well as keep more from coming to the area for the next weeks.

Finally, as a more long lasting alternative, we can also install mosquito mist devices on your yard that will deter them for at least a year.
