Dangers Posed by Mosquitoes
The weather in our area of the country is ideal for mosquitoes. Florida is home to about 80 species of mosquitoes and 33 of these are potentially hazardous to humans and animals. While people often think about mosquito-borne illness as something that happens in third-world countries, mosquitoes have spread the disease to people throughout the United States.
In the United States, mosquitoes have been known to spread:
- West Nile Virus
- Chikungunya
- Zika
- Eastern equine encephalitis
- Heartworm in dogs
While the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends using an insect repellent with DEET to protect against mosquitoes, this is not enough to make your yard safe for your family and pets. We offer mosquito control in Merritt Island to help eliminate mosquitoes and provide tips for addressing potential breeding grounds on your property.
How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes
Getting rid of mosquitoes can involve a combination of preventive measures and targeted interventions. Here are some effective methods:
- Eliminate Standing Water: Remove sources of standing water such as buckets, flowerpots, and gutters to prevent mosquito breeding.
- Use Mosquito Repellents: Apply insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus on exposed skin when outdoors.
- Keep Your Surroundings Clean: Trim bushes, mow the lawn, and remove debris to reduce mosquito resting areas.
- Use Mosquito Nets: Install mosquito nets on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out, especially during sleeping hours.
- Install Fans: Use fans outdoors to create airflow, which can deter mosquitoes, as they are weak fliers.
- Screening: Ensure doors and windows are properly screened to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
- Apply Larvicides: Use larvicides in areas of standing water that cannot be eliminated to kill mosquito larvae.
- Consider Professional Services: In severe cases, seek professional pest control services for targeted mosquito elimination strategies.
By combining these methods, you can effectively reduce mosquito populations and minimize their nuisance and potential health risks.
