Mosquito Control

It is a well known fact that mosquitoes are rated as one of the most dangerous insects in the world. They have been found to be carriers of diseases such as encephalitis, malaria and numerous other diseases possibly even HIV although there have been no official confirmations of this in the scientific community. With this in mind proper mosquito control around your home is a vital part of taking care of your family and keeping them as healthy as possible. One of the first things you need to realize is that mosquitoes breed in areas where there is stagnant water. This includes ponds, pools of water or open containers of water, you can start you own mosquito control program by removing any of these from around your home. If you have a pond you can reduce the chances of mosquitoes breeding by installing a pump and waterfall or fountain to keep the water moving if you do not want to remove it from your property.

Once you have removed any possible breeding places from around your home and still have to deal with a mosquito infestation you may need to call in a team of professionals to help you with a strong mosquito control program that will help to eliminate them from your yard and home and protect your family from being stung by these loathsome insects. There are many different methods of mosquito control a team of professionals can use around your home to reduce the risks. One of the more common methods is the use of mosquito traps, bug lights and absolute control of breeding areas so that the number of mosquitoes in your yard are reduced to as close to zero as possible. Your extermination company should suggest a combination of natural and chemical approaches to this problem to ensure the best possible protection for your family. One of the best possible methods of keeping mosquitoes out of your yard is to plant natural mosquito repelling plants.

The most popular plant being used today is citronella, the smell of the plant alone is considered a very effective repellent and having several of these plants around your doors and favorite spots in your yard should help with effective mosquito control. Other plants such as lemon thyme, catnip and rosemary can be used quite successfully. Your pest control company may recommend the use of a mosquito fogger as part of your mosquito control company. These machines actually heat the mosquito insecticide and fog your yard with low levels of insecticide that kills the mosquitoes instantly.
