Mosquito Control
When summertime comes, annoying mosquitoes have a way of inhabiting our backyards and sometimes even getting into our homes. Standing water, which is present in places like sewers, bird baths, and flower pots, is what attracts them. These bothersome bugs not only give painful bites but also carry disease. Mosquitoes usually feed on sugar, but the females need a blood meal from humans or animals to lay eggs. This makes them one of the worst pests of the summer season.
Mosquito bites are more than just annoying; their bites can cause swelling and spread serious diseases. Certain types of mosquitoes can transmit things like malaria, West Nile virus, encephalitis virus complex, and heartworm in dogs. Even though mosquitoes don’t live very long, they reproduce really quickly. Female mosquitoes lay hundreds of eggs every few days, and they hatch soon after. This makes it hard to get rid of a mosquito infestation.

Mosquito Removal
Mosquitos are annoying; they bite people, which can cause different reactions. These reactions can be mild itching, skin irritation, swelling, and painful inflammation.
Mosquitos love dark, wet, and hidden areas. They usually enter homes through open windows and doors.
Many times, mosquitos like to hide in the following places:
- Inside drawers
- Under and behind furniture
- On the walls and ceilings
- Under sinks
- In closets
- In laundry rooms
Mosquitos breed in standing water. Therefore, they are often rampant in puddles or near ponds, lakes, and mashes. Check out potted plants, pet water bowls, and bird feeders since mosquitos enjoy hiding in these areas. Mosquitos may also hide in discarded tires and trash or neglected pools and drainage ditches because they look for standing water.
When figuring out how to treat a mosquito infestation, there is a 5-step process to work through. Hiring a pest control company will take you through this process step-by-step. It can be a daunting experience to go through this alone; that is why Icon Pest is available to assist you.
Mosquito Removal Plan
Icon Pest has come up with an effective mosquito removal plan. The following gives a further description of the steps we take.
Inspection
The inspection involves asking questions and diagnosing the problem. We will check the house and property and find the source of the problem. In addition, diagramming the area creates a map to follow.
Our goal is to ensure we keep these pests outside of your home. Mosquitoes love hiding spots and thrive in moisture. They often hide in vegetation, including under plant leaves, shrubs, and trees.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis shares the type of pest and the factors contributing to its infestation. Identifying the species is easy for the experts at Icon Pest since they are well-trained, certified and experienced. They are knowledgeable about animal biology to identify the problem quickly.
Prescription
The prescription shares the treatment plan. Facts are needed first to share the best way to control the infestation. It includes handling the situation’s how, what, where, and when.
Application
This step implements the prescription. Leave it to the expert to carry out the plan. Ask if you and your pets can be in the house during the process. It’s critical to plan accordingly; details change depending on the treatment plan.
Sometimes, we need to use a chemical solution. Insecticides on vegetation can help control this type of infestation. Insect growth regulators can also keep mosquitoes from developing in wet areas. This process is vital in preventing eggs from hatching.
Evaluation
To ensure the mosquitos don’t return, evaluate the situation after the treatment. Additionally, this step is the way to determine if the application was successful.
