The Life Cycle Of Common Mosquitoes
Like most insects, mosquitoes have a life cycle of different stages. These stages include egg, larva, pupa, and adult. On average, the mosquito life cycle completes in about eight to ten days, but it may last longer depending on the outdoor conditions of where they lay their eggs. The eggs won’t hatch until the temperature and water conditions are perfect. Sometimes, eggs may lay dormant for several months before hatching and progressing down the life cycle.
It is important to note that an essential part of mosquito control is removing every life stage of mosquito on your property to stop potential reinfestation issues.
All The Factors That Make Mosquitoes Very Dangerous
Beyond leaving behind itchy, annoying bites, mosquitoes can be quite a dangerous pest to host. You can acquire several serious diseases from mosquitoes via their bite, including the Zika virus, West Nile virus, and malaria. Additionally, mosquito bites may sometimes cause allergic reactions, even as severe as anaphylaxis. All mosquito bites run the risk of secondary infection due to bacteria that enter the bites.
Don't hesitate to seek medical attention if you have any concerning symptoms after receiving a mosquito bite.
The Hassles With Do-It-Yourself Mosquito Control
While most Dunwoody property owners may turn to DIY mosquito control as their choice of ways to kill mosquitoes, home mosquito control remedies are often less than adequate. Not only do DIY mosquito control methods require a lot of time and money to find a product or tactic that works for your property, but many of these methods also don’t target the root source of your mosquito infestation. Therefore this leaves you at high risk for reinfestation and continued mosquito problems.
Dealing with mosquitoes independently without proper protection or professional equipment can increase the risk of mosquito bites and disease transmission, potentially resulting in significant future health issues.
Instead of relying on DIY methods to remove mosquitoes from your property, you should trust Tuxedo Mosquito Control, as our professional team knows the best ways to keep mosquitoes away from your yard for good.
