Why Mosquito Control is Critical in Your Own Property
If you have a heavy population of mosquitoes in and around your property, it could be due to a range of reasons. The first is standing water, where females lay eggs. Certain species of mosquitoes do not need much water, as little as a bottle cap full. Even the soggy leaf litter in a shady gutter is sufficient to harbor mosquitoes. If you have kiddie pools, bird baths, wheelbarrows, tarps, or flower pots with standing water, it’s important to remove these. An even bigger problem are those sources of water that you do not see.
Another reason mosquitoes populate some properties more than others is the amount of foliage and shade. If you have more dense trees and shrubs or tall grasses, these provide cool, shady spots where pests like to hide during the day. These mosquitoes can sense carbon dioxide from 75ft away and then will seek out a source for a meal. Depending on the species of mosquitoes, many bites come in the late afternoon or early evening, but some species are also aggressive day biters.
When they do bite, they can leave behind more than an itchy bump. In fact, mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of serious diseases to both people and pets, like West Nile, Zika, and heartworm. That’s why keeping numbers as low as possible is so important for the health and safety of your family and pets.
Let Lawn Doctor of Batavia-Aurora help with Mosquito and Tick Control. We’ll treat your property, reducing numbers dramatically, and also target eggs and larvae. This destroys the next generation. We’ll then return at key points of the season ahead to provide a complete set of services and options that keep control strong throughout the entire mosquito season in and around Downers Grove.
