Mosquitoes in Norwalk are some of the most dangerous pests you can wind up with in your backyard. Most people think of itchy bites and an annoying buzzing sound when they think of mosquitoes, but these perilous pests are a whole lot worse than that. In terms of the sheer number of people they kill, mosquitoes are actually the world’s most dangerous creatures. Mosquito-related deaths are so common their numbers even compete with the global murder rate!
With that in mind, it’s safe to say you don’t want these buzzing little menaces sniffing around your property. Unfortunately, keeping them away from your home is easier said than done. The good news is you don’t have to go it alone. Expert help from Tim’s Pest Control is just a click or call away
Our Norwalk, CT Mosquito Control Process
Our mosquito control process is a one-two punch of preventative measures and repellent products. We begin our mosquito control efforts with a thorough inspection of your property to find out where mosquitoes are or could breed.
Sometimes, mosquito breeding sites are obvious, like a stagnant birdbath or an unchanged pet water bowl. However, sometimes mosquito breeding sites may be less apparent. For instance, did you know some mosquito varieties can lay eggs in moist soil in a pinch? Or that something as simple as a flower pot with a little rainwater in it can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes? Our experts can help point out the less obvious places mosquitoes are using as breeding grounds on your property and help you do something about them.
However, sometimes there’s not a lot you can do about certain mosquito breeding sites. Your property might be near a body of water that’s pumping out mosquitoes around the clock. Certain plants on your property, like nectar-rich flowers, may also be attracting mosquitoes to your property, and these may not be plants that you want to eliminate. That’s where our repellent products come in.
Here at Tim’s Pest Control, we use In2Care mosquito control products. These mosquito traps are a multi-impact tool for killing off disease-spreading mosquitoes. This tool not only contaminates mosquitoes with a larvicide. It also kills slowly enough to allow the mosquitoes themselves to spread the poison to other breeding sites.
That means the trap doesn’t just kill mosquito larvae that come into direct contact with it. It kills all the mosquito larvae in the area around it. This larvicide is combined with a slow-acting biological agent that will kill adults after a few days to allow them to first spread the deadly larvicide.
3 Signs You Need Professional Mosquito Control
- Increased Mosquito Activity: If you notice a significant increase in mosquito activity around your home or property, it's a clear indication that you might need professional mosquito control. Mosquitoes can breed rapidly, especially in areas with standing water, and their presence can quickly become overwhelming.
- Persistent Bites: If you or your family members are experiencing persistent mosquito bites, despite taking measures to prevent them such as using repellents or wearing protective clothing, it could be a sign that there's a large population of mosquitoes nearby. This situation may warrant professional intervention to effectively reduce the mosquito population and alleviate the nuisance.
- Concerns about Disease Transmission: Mosquitoes are vectors for various diseases such as West Nile virus, Zika virus, dengue fever, and malaria. If there's an outbreak of mosquito-borne diseases in your area or if you're particularly concerned about the risk of disease transmission, seeking professional mosquito control services can help mitigate this risk by targeting mosquito breeding grounds and reducing the population.
In these situations, enlisting the help of professionals who specialize in mosquito control can provide effective and long-lasting solutions to protect your home and family from the nuisance and potential health risks associated with mosquitoes.
