Mosquito Control

Effective Mosquito Control Solutions by Forbearance Pest Control

Learn about mosquitoes and their feeding habits. Female mosquitoes require blood for egg development, using a specialized mouthpart called the 'proboscis'. Discover effective mosquito treatment with Forbearance Pest Control for a mosquito-free environment.

Mosquitoes are a family of flies known scientifically as Culicidae. While a few species feed on plant nectar, most mosquitoes feed on blood required for egg development and reproduction.

Female mosquitoes have a long specialized tube-like mouthpart called the ‘proboscis’, which can pierce the skin and blood vessels, while male mosquito mouthparts are not specifically modified for blood-feeding.

Mosquitoes without the ability to feed on blood typically live about one week, but if they feed on blood, these insects can last another seven days.

Biology and behavior of mosquitoes

The female mosquito begins her search for food at dawn and dusk, or when the temperature is above 5 degrees Celsius. She needs protein, which she gets from blood, to produce her eggs.

Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Contrary to popular belief, they do not simply fly into an open area and reproduce; instead, the female mosquito seeks out locations where stagnant water might be present to deposit her eggs.

Female mosquitoes lay eggs on the water’s surface, where oxygen and carbon dioxide can reach the eggs.

Once they hatch, larvae go through five stages of development known as instars; at the end of each of these stages, they molt — shed their outer layer of skin — and emerge larger than before.

The larvae breathe air at the surface, and they can drown if the water is too deep.

The larvae develop into pupae after they complete their fifth instar, and they remain in this stage for anywhere from twelve hours to four days before emerging as adult mosquitoes.

Despite their small size (mosquitoes can grow no longer than 0.8 inches), they are incredibly aggressive and do not wait for their prey to come to them.

Female mosquitoes are known for their unique ability to sniff out the carbon dioxide emitted by potential hosts from up to 100 feet away.

Symptoms of Mosquito Bites

The female mosquito needs protein for egg development; for this reason, she feeds on the blood of mammals (only the females will feed on blood). When she bites, her saliva enters the host’s body. Her saliva causes the itching and inflammation one experiences following a mosquito bite.

A person may experience an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite, including hives, breathing difficulties, dizziness, and even swollen lymph nodes. These symptoms are most common in young children. Fr this reason alone, mosquito treatment is a must!

How do you treat mosquito bites?

A person can treat a minor mosquito bite by applying an over-the-counter antihistamine cream or taking an oral antihistamine. One can also alleviate itching and inflammation by applying hydrocortisone (1%), which should be used sparingly.

Using hydrocortisone too often or in too high of a dose can cause the skin to be thin and become easily damaged.

A professional mosquito treatment or early intervention is essential for prevention.

What is the best way to get rid of mosquitoes?

The most effective way to reduce one’s likelihood of contracting a disease from mosquitoes is to rid their home environment of mosquito breeding grounds, such as those described above.

Remove standing water from flowerpots, gutters, birdbaths, pool covers, and so on to accomplish this.

Additionally, one can avoid being bitten by using an insect repellent that contains DEET or picaridin; products with these active ingredients are highly effective when applied to exposed skin in a thick layer.

“I had a large Yellowjacket nest above my garage, another in an out building, and a third under our deck. I called the office and Jonathan was out to look in a very short amount of time. He was very honest and we walked around together while he let me know what to expect upon completion.

He did a very thorough job in comparison to other people I have used in the past and I feel I got exceptional and personal service.

Highly recommend this company!!”

“FABULOUS. Very friendly, knowledgeable and informative, and best of all - honest. Response time was fantastic! My after-hours inquiry was quickly responded to, and they were able to fit us in the very next day. A locally owned company, and it really shows. The customer care is unparalleled, not something you would receive with a corporation. Pricing is also very reasonable, and actually less than the "big box" companies I contacted. We will not be using anyone else for our pest control needs. If you need pest control, please message or call these guys. You will NOT be disappointed!”
