Appearance - Mosquitoes are small distinctive flies. They typically have thin bodies, reaching anywhere from 3 to 9 mm in length. They are well known for their long, sucking mouth part (proboscis) to drink blood with.
Behavior - Mosquito problems tend to occur near water because mosquitoes and their eggs thrive in these locations. Mosquitoes populations increase during the summer months when the weather is at its most damp and humid. They tend to swarm in areas where the water is stagnant, which is a perfect breeding ground for mosquito larvae. Only female mosquitoes bite-as the blood allows them the energy to produce eggs. Mosquitoes are most active in the early evening or at dawn when it is coolest and air motion is the calmest.
Mosquito problems can be caused by where you live or issues on your property. If you live near any stagnant water, you may be susceptible to a mosquito infestation. Stagnant water tends to produce more mosquitoes, so living near a pond or field of water-collecting containers such as tires increases the likelihood of mosquito problems. Having rainwater collectors, open containers, or even divots in your property where puddles accumulate, can become mosquito breeding grounds. It should be noted that even without standing water, mosquitoes may fly over to visit your property from neighboring properties.
Mosquitoes are known carriers of diseases such as West Nile Virus, Zika, and other forms of encephalitis – which have been detected in the United States. Beyond these diseases, mosquito bites are simply an itchy nuisance no one wants to deal with.
If you start seeing too many mosquitoes, you should give us a call. Mosquitoes reproduce rapidly, and more mosquitoes will only increase the likelihood of you or a loved one getting bit or sick from the bite. Treating the property and finding hot spots for mosquitoes to treat is key to keeping a Spokane Metro Area mosquito problem under control. Western Exterminator Company technicians will locate and treat nearby larval breeding areas with effective larvicides.
