Mosquitoes can be one of the more frustrating pests you can have to deal with on your West Palm Beach property. Some pests will move into your home and infest your food. Some want to build nests in your walls and share your home. Others will build nests in your attic or eaves. There are many different types of pests you may have to deal with that will be interested in your home, but mosquitoes are different. They are interested in you. That’s because mosquitoes need blood to reproduce, and yours will do just fine. If you are outside when hungry mosquitoes are active, they will pursue you until you either go inside or find a way to deal with them.
Pest control in West Palm Beach can be as easy as calling Empire Pest Defense. Once you call us, we can partner with you to effectively address your mosquito problem.
Mosquitoes Are Needed To Maintain Our Eco-System
Mosquitoes hunt by using their sense of smell, and that makes it difficult to get away from them. You can move anywhere in your yard that you want but that won’t get you away from them. The bites won’t stop, and your frustration will grow unless you can find a way to keep mosquitoes away. Mosquitoes in West Palm Beach do serve a very critical function in nature, however: they are a prey species for many different types of predators. Frogs, birds, dragonflies, bats, and spiders all prey heavily on mosquitoes. As much as mosquitoes like to feed on you, other creatures like to feed on them.
Mosquitoes are an important food source for many creatures, but you are an essential food source for them. Mosquito control in West Palm Beach is as simple as getting in touch with Empire Pest Defense. We can help you with mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes Around Your Yard Are Both Annoying And Dangerous
Mosquitoes chasing you around your yard for blood is troubling enough, but there is another reason that mosquitoes can be concerning. Mosquitoes need blood to reproduce, and they get it by piercing skin with a needle-like appendage and sucking the blood out. To keep the blood from thickening as they feed, mosquitoes inject their saliva into the bite area to keep the blood thin. If a mosquito feeds on a host infected with disease-causing pathogens it can later spread these pathogens to each new host it feeds on later. Mosquitoes are considered to be one of the premier disease vectors of the insect world.
How To Remove Factors That Attract Mosquitoes To Your Yard
One of the best ways to keep mosquitoes away from your West Palm Beach home is to remove the factors that draw them. Here are some of the things you can do to deal with mosquitoes:
- Eliminate standing water: Mosquitoes use still, stagnant water to breed.
- Keep bushes trimmed: Mosquitoes love to shelter in overgrown bushes.
- Keep grass trimmed: Overgrown grass can shelter mosquitoes as well.
- Avoid them: Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. Avoid being outside then.
- Wear appropriate clothing: Mosquitoes can’t bite as well through long clothing.
These tips can help you better deal with mosquitoes around your property, but they might ultimately become a problem anyway. When that happens, drop a line to Empire Pest Defense. We know how to get rid of mosquitoes.
