We just love a barbecue, never more so than in summer. However, nothing takes the fun out of this Aussie tradition faster than a plague of bloodthirsty mosquitoes! Their bite is painful and itchy. If scratched, a secondary infection can develop. All this is only compounded by the fact that the common mozzie can spread a veritable smorgasbord of diseases, some of which can prove fatal. We adopt an integrated pest management approach to mosquito control in the residential and commercial sector. We will attend and identify the causes of the outbreak then safely and effectively control the existing problem. Strategies will then be developed to prevent any reoccurrence.
Mosquitoes belong to the same family as the loathsome fly and both are considered a nuisance pest. A female requires a blood meal in order to produce eggs, with their preference being mammals, including humans, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Their tube-like mouth parts pierce the skin of their host that then allows for the extraction of blood. They act as vectors of disease and it is estimated that worldwide, they transmit diseases to more than 700 million people annually. Millions of deaths each year are attributed to diseases spread by this ectoparasite. It’s easy to see why a mosquito control program is a necessity.
Mosquitoes are a vector of deadly diseases. Call us now for an effective mosquito control program.
It is therefore wise to avoid being bitten at any cost. There are several steps you should take to control your local mosquito population. In order to breed a female must locate a pool of standing water in which to lay her eggs. If you remove all possible water sources you remove their required breeding grounds. This will likely prevent the next generation from taking up residence in your yard.
There are also many other items found around your home that can provide adequate breeding sites. These include:
The installation of window and door screens around your home or office will help to prevent indoor activity. Remember to check screens for holes and repair or replace if necessary. Bites are also most prevalent at dawn and dusk. The use of an approved insect repellent at these times will reduce the likelihood of attack.
Repellents will not kill mozzies, they simply work by inhibiting the stimuli for blood feeding. Remember to read the label, particularly in relation to application on children. The use of coils that emit insecticides are effective only in sheltered outdoor areas. The use of coils indoors is not recommended for health reasons.
Electronic vaporizers are effective indoors and in sheltered outdoor areas. Electronic devices that repel by sound have been found to be ineffective while ‘bug-zappers’ have a low success rate against biting insects. A licensed pest control technician can also apply a number of effective insecticides to problem areas that can have considerable success with mosquito control. This type of approach is particularly appropriate for functions, such as a birthday party or a Christmas celebration that may be held outdoors and where a pest-free environment is highly desirable.
The long-term effects will be determined by your compliance with other integrated pest management recommendations. To speak with one of our experienced technicians contact 1300 665 573 or complete the Contact Us form and we will call you at the earliest opportunity.
Can I use natural mosquito pest control methods?
Yes, you can use natural or basic precautionary mosquito control measures as an alternative to chemical-based solutions like spraying pesticides in your living area or working environment.
Some precautionary mosquito pest control you can do is drain water from stagnant sources such as flower pots, gutters or bird baths, as these are breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Additionally, you can install mosquito nets or screens to prevent them from invading your indoor spaces.
When should I consider professional mosquito pest control?
You should consider professional mosquito pest control if you’re facing a persistent issue that can’t be resolved through basic preventive measures like draining stagnant water or installing screens on your doors and windows, especially if your home or workplace is located where mosquito-borne diseases are prevalent.
