Mosquito Treatment and Control in Westchase

Why Do Mosquitoes Swarm Yards?

During the months mosquitoes are most active – usually in spring and summer, although in Westchase we have mosquitoes are active all year – they are actively seeking locations to lay eggs. A female mosquito will lay about 100 eggs every three days, depositing them on the surface of stagnant water where the larvae will spend their lives until maturing to adult insects themselves.

The mosquitoes are active at night when they seek out a blood meal, mate, and lay eggs. During the day, they need to hide in shady areas as the sun can be fatal. Yards and outdoor public spaces often provide mosquitoes with water sources, people to bite for blood, and shade. Specific factors that attract mosquitoes include:

• Still Water – Open containers like bird baths, dog bowls, and planters can hold water, as well as clogged gutters and yard waste.
  
  
• Overgrown Vegetation – Grass and bushes provide shady spaces for mosquitoes to rest, and regular trimming will limit habitats.
  
  
• Nearby Natural Space – Even if your yard is maintained, a park or unkept yard nearby can still host hundreds of mosquitoes that can come to your property for food.

Effective mosquito control often starts by eliminating any areas that would draw mosquitoes. This helps boost the effectiveness of any treatments, and can sometimes be enough to reduce mosquito populations on its own. Our inspections of your yard will note any places that are bringing mosquitoes, and provide any treatments that may help reduce the risk of an infestation and decrease any mosquitoes present.

Mosquito Treatment and Prevention in Westchase

Our Westchase mosquito treatment uses different insecticides formulated to target the areas mosquitoes hide and their different life stages. We eliminate the eggs and larvae present in water and the adult mosquitoes in the bushes and grasses around a home. These treatments kill mosquitoes on contact so that your yard is clear of the insects as soon as our service is complete.

Mosquitoes will continue to be kept away for several weeks after we finish our treatment as the insecticides continue to repel them. Time and wet weather can degrade them, so ongoing treatments are valuable in keeping mosquitoes away continuously.

Mist Device Installation

We can also install the exciting new mosquito mist devices. Rather than requiring frequent visits from our pest control team, these devices automate the mosquito control process. They are programmed to release a light spray on a timer and create a barrier in the air and on the bushes around your property. Our Westchase exterminators can inspect your property to determine if mist devices will work for you.
