5 Signs You Need Professional Mosquito Control

Mosquito infestations are more than just a nuisance. These tiny flying pests can pose significant health risks, including the transmission of diseases like Zika virus, West Nile virus, and other potentially harmful conditions. Moreover, their incessant buzzing and itchy bites can turn your peaceful home or business into a place of discomfort. Identifying the signs of a mosquito problem early on can help you take the necessary steps to reclaim your property.

Here are some telltale signs that indicate the need for professional mosquito control:

• Mosquitoes inside: If mosquitoes have become bold enough to invade your indoor spaces, it's a clear sign of a serious infestation.
• Swarms: Witnessing large groups of mosquitoes around your property is a definite indicator of a problem.
• Allergic reactions: If you or your family members are experiencing severe allergic reactions to mosquito bites, it's time to seek professional help.
• Frequent bites: An increase in mosquito bites, particularly during outdoor activities, is a sure sign of an infestation.

Professional intervention becomes crucial when dealing with a mosquito infestation because DIY methods often prove ineffective for long-term control. Professionals, like our team at BugOut Pest Control, bring in-depth knowledge, experience, and advanced techniques to effectively eliminate mosquitoes from your property and prevent future infestations.

Tips for Keeping Mosquitoes Off Your Property 

No one wants to deal with mosquitoes constantly buzzing in their ears and leaving behind unbearably itchy bites. If you want to keep these pesky pests away from your home or business, we’ve got you covered. 

Here are some of our best tips for keeping mosquitoes away:

• Eliminate stagnant water: Mosquitoes breed in standing water. Regularly check and clear areas that can collect water such as buckets, tin cans, discarded tires, and pet water dishes.
• Install fly screens: Install and maintain fly screens on windows, doors, and vents to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
• Use citronella: Citronella candles emit a scent that naturally repels mosquitoes, making them effective for outdoor activities.
• Plant anti-mosquito plants: Certain plants like lavender, lemongrass, citronella grass, lemon thyme, rosemary, basil, and catnip can help keep mosquitoes at bay.
• Use mosquito lanterns: Mosquito-repelling lanterns are a great way to help keep these pests away from your patio and porch.

Most importantly, be sure to schedule routine pest control. Regular pest control treatments are the most effective way to eliminate pest infestations and prevent future invasions from taking place.
