The Life Cycle Of Mosquitoes
Understanding how to defeat mosquitoes begins with understanding their life cycle and operation. These bugs drop about 100 eggs at once in damp places. The hatching period for larvae varies from days to a few months. Young will consume water microorganisms while molting three times, developing into pupae. After roughly three days, pupae become adults with wings. They’ll eagerly feed on nectar from greenery as they grow. Females bite people and animals to retrieve blood for their egg production.
You have an infestation on your property when you see swarms of East Cobb mosquitoes near vegetation and standing pools. The bugs will use open doors and windows or structural gaps to come into your home. With time, they’ll settle in damp areas that are tranquil and dark (think laundry rooms and basements). Mosquitoes are 3/25th to 7/20th of an inch long. They have thin legs and large proboscis.
Why Mosquitoes Around Your Yard Can Be A Health Concern
Most people think leaving red and itchy welts on your body is the worst thing mosquitoes can do. Unfortunately, that isn’t the extent of it. Any insect that drinks the blood of an infected human or creature is a health risk. They disperse conditions that lead to kidney and heart complications, muscular pain, fever, and nausea, among other symptoms. Some of the primary diseases linked to mosquitoes are:
- Malaria
- Dengue
- Yellow Fever
- West Nile virus
- Chikungunya
- Zika virus
Remember that this is a brief list and doesn’t include every mosquito-borne illness.
The Hassles With Do-It-Yourself Mosquito Control
Many homeowners believe they can handle mosquito problems on their own. They may think “do it yourself” remedies and commercial pesticides are just as potent as expert options. It’s also assumed that these avenues are less hazardous and expensive. The truth is that independent methods are flawed.
Typical “tricks” and goods are not intended to address infestations; only isolated issues. Dangerous chemical exposure and misapplication may occur between their ingredients and complicated instructions. Their price tag isn’t moderate either. Not to mention, it would be hard to spread products in the necessary zones. There’s a chance you could hurt yourself or be bitten in the midst. Pest technicians know where to go and how to employ treatments effectively. The professional route is the best way to get rid of mosquitoes.
