Mosquito

What are mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes are insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals to nourish their eggs. Only female mosquitoes bite, while both males and females feed on plant nectar for nourishment. Inside and around homes, their presence can make outdoor living uncomfortable and unsafe for families.

Are Mosquitoes Dangerous?

Mosquitoes bring more than just itchy bites—they can transmit serious diseases that put families at risk. Among the illnesses they spread are malaria, West Nile Virus, dengue fever, and Chikungunya virus. Transmission occurs when an infected mosquito bites a person or animal and then bites another.

If you notice symptoms of illness after a mosquito bite, seek medical care immediately. Staying informed and proactive is key to protecting your household from mosquito-borne diseases.

Why Do I Have a Mosquito Problem at Home?

Mosquitoes thrive during warmer months when females seek blood meals to produce eggs. If your yard provides moisture, standing water, thick shrubbery, or tall grass, it creates the perfect breeding environment. Homes with these conditions often experience heavier mosquito activity.

Where Will I Find Mosquitoes Around My Property?

Mosquitoes tend to gather in areas that provide shade, moisture, and breeding grounds, including:

• Ponds, bird baths, or standing water
  
• Dense landscaping or overgrown grass
  
• Shady wooded areas
  
• Damp, poorly drained spots around the yard

By identifying these hotspots, homeowners can take targeted steps to reduce mosquito populations.
