Where Do Mosquitoes Come From?
Easy access to food, standing water for breeding, and shady sheltering spots attract mosquitoes to your yard. Many of these factors on your property can draw all types of mosquitoes and lead to a significant infestation. It is important to note that a major part of mosquito control is taking the time to identify and remove these factors so you can deter future mosquito issues. Tuxedo Mosquito Control can help you with this process.
How Dangerous Is It To Be Bitten By A Mosquito?
Though many individuals may think that mosquito bites are nothing more than an itchy nuisance, these bites can be pretty dangerous. While not every mosquito is infected, there are several diseases you can get from mosquitoes transferred through their bites, such as the Zika virus, West Nile virus, malaria, and yellow fever. Moreover, mosquito bites may trigger allergic reactions in specific individuals or become infected due to bacteria entering the bite area. You should seek medical attention if you incur severe symptoms such as fever, muscle aches or weakness, headache, nausea, or vomiting after receiving a mosquito bite.
