Mosquito-borne viruses including Zika, Dengue Fever, West Nile Virus, and Chikungunya have all been found in Florida. These viruses are spread by daytime-active Aedes mosquitoes and can pose serious health risks to you and your family.
The spread of mosquito-borne diseases makes it crucial to control mosquito populations around your home. ABC Pest Control, Inc. provides professional mosquito treatment programs to reduce adult populations and prevent breeding on your property.
Prevention
Breeding Sites & Larval Prevention
The breeding sites of these daytime-feeding mosquitoes can include any area of your yard that holds standing water. This includes birdbaths, rain barrels, gutters, old tires, low areas within the landscape, and the drain pans located beneath potted plants. Bromeliads and pineapple plants are especially attractive to mosquitoes due to their water-holding capacity.
Even a small bottle cap filled with water can allow up to fifty mosquito larvae to grow into maturity. Unfortunately, between watering the lawn and afternoon thunderstorms, you may have to re-check these areas for water buildup regularly.
Professional Fogging
Adult Mosquito Treatment & Professional Fogging
Adult mosquitoes rest on foliage near their breeding sites, waiting for a blood meal. The only way to control adult populations of mosquitoes is to treat the areas where they rest. To do this, you will need to spray the foliage of the plants and trees around your home with an insecticide labeled for mosquitoes.
Professional pest control companies use fogging machines to mist the foliage and penetrate the canopy. Fogging ensures complete coverage of your landscape plants and is professionally applied using a residual insecticide and a growth regulator to kill the adult mosquitoes. These applications must be performed monthly to keep the adult populations in check.
Added Benefits
Benefits of Professional Mosquito Treatment
Another benefit of having a commercial application to your property is that many of your neighbors may not pay much attention to the breeding sites in their yards, which means more mosquitoes for you and your family. By having your yard treated, you can rest assured that you will kill the mosquitoes that enter your outdoor living areas.
Fogging will also help to control other insects like biting flies, midges, and gnats, which can be especially bothersome in the summer months.
Larval Control
Products Like Mosquito Dunks for Standing Water
For areas where water buildup cannot be helped, products like Summit Mosquito Dunks and Summit Mosquito Granules contain bacteria that kill mosquito larvae but are harmless to people and pets. Drop a dunk into a rain barrel or birdbath for up to a month of larval control.
