HOW TO GET RID OF MOSQITOES – TREATMENT OPTIONS

FOGGING TREATMENT

A mosquito fogging treatments goal is to knock down any existing current adult mosquitoes in the service area and provide residual control for the contacted surface areas. The chemical residual is effective for 30-60 days indoor and about 30 days outdoor, depending on exterior factors such as irrigation or types of plants and plant density. Mosquitos fogging treatments can be done indoors. For exterior mosquito treatments we are using a gas-powered backpack fogger than can reach up to 20ft high and out. Adult mosquitoes primarily feed on nectar from plants, aphid honeydew, and plant juices, so being able to reach up and into trees is key for a good fogging. An exterior fogging is directed to get inside brush and shrub areas, through ground cover like ivy. The fog settles on leaves, branches, vines, any surface it touches to leave the residual behind. As the fog is being applied, it is also killing existing adult mosquitos it meets.  For interior fogging like an office area, we use an electric ULV machine. Interior fogging’s have the same basic concept as exterior, except the treatment is focused on higher perimeter areas, corners and around lighting. Indoor planters and waterscapes are also a concern.

MOSQUITO TRAPS

Mosquito traps kill both the adult female and the larva of the Aedes mosquito. Aedes are the biggest transmitter of viruses to humans. Aedes mosquitos are also the most conducive breed of mosquito to human environments. They are attracted to small man-made breeding sites and have a unique egg-laying behavior spreading eggs over several sites. The trap is not actually trapping the mosquito. Once inside the trap the mosquito will contact the gauze and become contaminated with the larvicide and then move to lay eggs at another site. As the contaminated mosquito lays eggs from site it is also contaminating those sites and killing off all of the larvae and pupa. The original contaminated adult mosquito is dead within 2 to 4 days. Traps are placed in shaded areas and close to attractive sites like bushes and trees. Trap density is 1 trap for every 400msq or about 10 per acre. Average 1600 sqft home needs 2-3. Lastly, mosquito traps are focused on the female mosquito because they are the ones that bite. The more females around, the more males are likely to gather.

WATER TREATMENT

Water treatment mosquito service is to eliminate the larva that develop from mosquito eggs. It takes about 7 days for a mosquito to make it from egg to adult. We treat the water with a tablet or granular that releases a larvicide over time. Before the larvae have time to make it to adult hood, they are killed off by the larvicide. Great for ponds, fountains, unmaintained pools, sump pump areas and drainage locations.

CALIFORNIA MOSQUITO FACTS

Mosquitoes thrive in temperatures between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit. That means in Southern California they are pretty much year-round. Mosquitoes know a lot about humans too, and how to find a us. Female mosquitos are attracted to carbon dioxide, body heat, perspiration, and body smells to find a host. They can harbor in a water source as small as a bottle cap and as overlooked as an overwatered lawn. Adult mosquitos typically live about 7 days some up to two months in the right conditions. Most mosquito species have flight ranges of 1-3 miles. Most mosquitos can fit through door jambs and even window and door screens.
