Mosquito pest control Marietta, Georgia

Mosquitoes are flies of the order: Diptera, family: Culicidae. They differ from other flies with their long proboscis that is used to probe skin of animals and humans to suck blood. Female mosquitoes live from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. The male counterparts live only about a week. Employees of mosquito control services generally blow an insecticide from a backpack-style tank, targeting the underside of leaves, vegetation, ground cover and other cool, dark areas where mosquitoes lurk. The spray generally kills the mosquitoes that it touches and then dries, leaving a residue on leaves and branches that repels bugs, he said, helping to control insects that fly into your yard from elsewhere. Many types of adult mosquitoes are found resting in vegetation during the day time. Trim and get rid of overgrowth of weeds. To get rid of adult mosquitoes spray the foliage of bushes and shrubs, lower limbs of shade trees, tall grass, and shaded areas with a residual insecticide.

When it comes to treating your lawn, avoid spraying the area with broad-spectrum insecticides. Many of these sprays contain insecticidal compounds known as pyrethrins. Extremely toxic to bees, fish such as bluegill and lake trout, and slightly to moderately toxic to bird species, these chemicals also have been associated with (in rare cases, dangerous) allergic reactions in humans, and anemia and disruption of sex hormones in lab animals. Along with pest insects, insecticides can also kill natural mosquito predators—most of which take longer to repopulate than the mosquitoes themselves.

One of the most effective mosquito control measures is barrier sprays. You have the option for a natural barrier spray or an EPA-registered synthetic spray. There are different variations of these sprays, designed to meet each property’s unique needs. Synthetic sprays contain chrysanthemum flower extract, which is also used to treat scabies and lice., and natural treatments contain cedar wood extracts When a technician applies the spray, all pests on your property will be eliminated, and the spray will repel new pests from entering your property for roughly three weeks. For season-long services, you can have a technician reapply the spray every three weeks. Barrier sprays are the most effective mosquito control measure, as they completely eliminate pests and keep them from coming back.
