The Life Cycle Of A Mosquito
Despite being a persistent menace, mosquitoes do not live very long individually. Adult mosquitoes only live for a few weeks, and their entire lifecycle can start and end in a handful of months. But the most daunting part for any would-be exterminator is that these bugs spend the first three parts of their four-stage life cycle under or near water, where they can easily hide.
The cycle looks like this; eggs (laid directly in water), larva (hatched in water), pupa (lingering near the water's surface), and finally, the adult mosquito. Effective mosquito control means targeting every stage of the life cycle. Above and Beyond Pest Control technicians thoroughly inspect your property before the treatment begins to identify the harborage where mosquitoes live and grow.
The Potential Dangers Of A Mosquito Bite
We're all familiar with the frustration caused by a mosquito bite. The itchy white mound that develops on our skin results from an allergic reaction. In some cases, symptoms go beyond itching, including fever, hive, and other conditions.
But mosquitoes in Lake Worth are far more harmful than just causing itching and fevers. They easily transmit bloodborne diseases worldwide, spreading viruses and parasites that lead to severe sickness and sometimes death. Diseases you can get from mosquitoes, like the West Nile virus, yellow fever, and malaria, have a growing global reach as temperatures rise year after year.
While there's a lot you can do to protect your body from mosquitoes, such as using repellents, protecting your lawn and home requires much more work. Thankfully, Above and Beyond Pest Control has the latest proven products for keeping mosquitoes at bay. Reach out to us to schedule your free inspection today.
