Mosquito Pest FAQ's

  • How do I keep mosquitoes away?

    Wondering how to make your home a no-fly zone for mosquitoes? Here’s the action plan:

    • Drain Standing Water
      • Remember, mosquitoes love their nurseries to be stagnant water bodies. Birdbaths, flowerpots, and old tires can unknowingly become mosquito maternity wards. Drain them regularly to prevent mosquito breeding!
    • Wear Repellent
      • Wearing insect repellent is akin to donning an invisible force field. When choosing your repellent, look for the knight-in-shining-armor ingredients like DEET or picaridin.
    • Use Windor and Door Screens
      • Screens on doors and windows are your house’s personal bouncers, keeping unwanted mosquito guests out.
    • Attack at the Right Time
      • Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk. Try to avoid being outdoors during these peak mosquito happy hours (though this is hard around July 4th).
    • Use Mosquito Traps
      • Using a mosquito trap can help reduce the mosquito count in your yard. It’s like a mini-vacation spot they can check into but never leave.
    • Call Aruza Pest Control
      • If your mosquito problem feels like an invasion, it’s time to bring in the professionals – calling pest control companies like Aruza can quickly remedy the problem and give you a solid prevention plan.
  • Are mosquitoes a health risk?

    Yes. Mosquitoes can transmit diseases such as West Nile virus and other pathogens.

  • Can mosquitoes breed in small amounts of water?

    Yes. Mosquitoes can breed in bottle caps, gutters, planters, and other small water sources.

  • How do I get rid of mosquitoes?

    Eliminate standing water, maintain your yard, use repellents and fans outdoors, install or repair window and door screens, and consider professional yard treatments for heavy infestations.

  • How do mosquitoes find their prey?

    They track carbon dioxide from our breath, body heat, movement, and certain skin odors to locate people and animals to bite.

  • How do mosquitoes transmit diseases?

    Mosquitoes, especially the females as they are the only ones that feed, are much more than just annoying. When these bloodthirsty ladies feed, they can pick up diseases from an infected host, and voila! The next unsuspecting victim they bite becomes the new recipient of the illness.

  • What are the best ways to prevent mosquito bites?

    Wear long sleeves and pants, use EPA registered repellents, avoid being outside at dawn and dusk when possible, and use fans, screens, or nets to create physical barriers between you and mosquitoes.

  • What are the signs of a mosquito bite?

    Most bites cause a small, raised, itchy bump. Some people may experience swelling, blistering, or more intense reactions; any concerning symptoms after bites should be checked by a healthcare provider.

  • What diseases can mosquitoes transmit?

    Depending on the region, mosquitoes can spread illnesses like West Nile virus, Zika, dengue, malaria, chikungunya, and others.

Mosquitoes are small flying-insects that you can find just about anywhere except Antarctica. With a petite size of around 1/4-inches long, these critters are equipped with slender legs and antennae that give them their distinctive appearance. In most cases, mosquitoes will be brown or black with a few species sporting speckles across their legs and abdomen.‍ Mosquitoes are drawn to animals, capable of sensing heat and the carbon dioxide that we exhale. This helps them zero in on potential targets for their next meal.‍

Mosquitoes are parasites, they rely on the blood of animals, and unfortunately, humans, for their meals. This makes them less than popular at summer barbecues and backyard sports outings.‍Interestingly though, females are the only gender that will feed as males exist purely for breeding purposes. Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water or damp soil.

The resulting larvae then morph through a series of stages until they grow into full-fledged adult mosquitoes.‍When feeding, female mosquitoes inject a hypodermic-needle like proboscis into the victim which emits a saliva that contains an anesthetic and anticoagulant allowing the mosquito to feed uninterrupted. Using this blood, the mosquito will go on to lay up to 100 eggs in her nesting area of choice.‍

Mosquitoes can be found in a plethora of habitats. These include forests, wetlands, and surprisingly, even our cozy homes. They have a soft spot for warm and humid environments, which makes places like North Carolina a paradise for these critters.‍ Mosquitoes can travel at upwards of 1.5mph and they’ve been known to travel very long distances.‍

Mosquitoes are not just a buzzing nuisance but can also pose significant health risks. They’re known to transmit over 100 diseases, some of which are serious like malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever. On top of that, they’re not the most considerate house guests, laying eggs in water containers and causing damage to property.

If you can’t seem to enjoy your summer in peace, it’s time to call the professionals. A pest control company with expertise in mosquito control can help you regain your peace quickly and effectively. In many cases, investing in a top-notch mosquito treatment is the best way to eliminate a mosquito problem.‍ Here are some bonus tips on how to keep mosquitoes at bay:

  • Regularly drain water from birdbaths and other containers.
  • Turn off outdoor lights at night to avoid attracting them.‍
