Our FAQs

Mosquitoes typically hide in swampy, humid, and damp areas, around long grass or piles of debris, or near puddles of standing water, as this is where they lay their eggs. One of the best ways to get rid of mosquitoes is to eliminate conducive conditions on your property.
-
Mosquitoes love to be around moist, humid conditions and areas with lots of overgrown foliage and long grass to hide in during the heat of the day. You may be experiencing a mosquito problem because you have mosquito attractants easily accessible on your property.
-
Though mosquitoes are small pests, they are fairly dangerous to encounter. There are several diseases you can get from mosquitoes, including the Zika virus, West Nile virus, malaria, and yellow fever. Not every mosquito is infected, but the more bites you receive, the greater your chances of serious health issues.
Additionally, mosquitoes may trigger allergy issues in some people, and bites may become infected due to bacteria on the mosquito. Swelling, pain, and fever are all signs that a mosquito bite needs medical treatment.
-
Mosquitoes are species of small flies that belong to the family Culicidae. You can easily recognize them by their almost translucent pair of wings, thin-waisted bodies, and elongated mouthparts. Both male and female mosquitoes use their extended mouth parts to feed on plant nectar, and female mosquitoes also bite mammals to obtain blood meals. This blood is essential in developing mosquito eggs and continuing their life cycle.
-
When a female mosquito enters your yard, it will lay one hundred eggs at a time in stagnant water resources. These eggs hatch into wigglers (mosquito larvae) and develop into tumblers (mosquito pupae) before taking to the air as adult mosquitoes. The process takes more than a week.

There are many products that repel mosquitoes. Synthetic materials work best. If you're looking for an all-natural solution, consider citronella, eucalyptus, cinnamon, peppermint, lavender, or catnip. When applying essential oils, keep in mind that frequent applications are necessary.
