Why Mosquito Control is Essential
Mosquitoes are not only annoying, but they also carry diseases such as West Nile virus, Zika virus, and Lyme disease, among others. With the ability to breed in even the smallest amounts of standing water, mosquitoes can quickly turn your yard into a breeding ground, leading to an increase in their population. This can make it difficult to enjoy your backyard, garden, or patio.
In addition to their health risks, mosquitoes are a major inconvenience, especially during warmer months when you want to spend time outdoors. Taking proactive measures to control mosquito populations around your property is key to reducing the risk of bites and potential disease transmission.
Our Mosquito Control Process
At Jesse James Critter Gitters, we take a multi-step approach to mosquito control, ensuring that your property is not only free from mosquitoes but also remains protected against future infestations.
- Inspection: Our mosquito control process begins with a thorough inspection of your property. We identify areas where mosquitoes may be breeding, such as standing water in gutters, ponds, birdbaths, and other containers. During the inspection, we also evaluate your landscape to locate potential hiding spots for adult mosquitoes.
- Treatment: After assessing your property, we apply targeted treatments designed to eliminate mosquitoes at all stages of their life cycle—larvae, pupae, and adults. Our treatments are designed to create an effective barrier around your property, significantly reducing mosquito populations and preventing new ones from hatching.
- Elimination of Breeding Sites: One of the most important steps in controlling mosquitoes is eliminating their breeding sites. We provide advice on how to remove or treat standing water, such as by covering containers, ensuring proper drainage, and treating larger bodies of water with environmentally safe larvicides to stop mosquito larvae from developing.
- Ongoing Maintenance: Mosquito control is an ongoing process. To maintain long-term protection, we offer regular follow-up treatments and monitoring based on your needs. We can schedule visits to ensure that your property remains mosquito-free throughout the season, giving you peace of mind as you enjoy your outdoor spaces.
Preventative Measures: In addition to our treatments, we provide tips on how to reduce mosquito activity around your property. This includes recommendations for eliminating breeding grounds, installing mosquito traps, and using natural repellents. Our goal is to not only control the current mosquito population but also prevent future problems.
