Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance
Mosquitoes can make life miserable. Many recreational and work activities have been ruined by the constant annoyance and irritation caused by their bites. Also, some species can transmit serious diseases such as the Zika Virus, and West Nile Virus.
Identification
Effective mosquito control requires a knowledge of where and how they develop. All mosquitoes pass through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The span of those stages varies with species and temperature. Under ideal conditions, some mosquitoes can complete their cycle of development from egg to adult in less than a week.
Breeding Site Reduction
First, your Pronto technician will inspect the property to locate and map breeding sites, defining necessary steps to maintain control of those areas.
Larval Control
Some breeding sites simply cannot be eliminated, requiring application of larvicides to attain control of those areas. Lethal only to mosquito wrigglers and the larvae of some aquatic gnats and black flies, Larvicides are insecticides which are used to control immature mosquitoes before they have a chance to develop into biting adults.
Adult Mosquito Control
Mosquitoes prefer to rest in protected sites during the day. Yards with lots of trees, shrubs, and dense vegetation or properties adjoining such areas, can have nightmarish problems. To reduce levels of biting mosquitoes, residual applications are made to the lower limbs of shade trees, shrubs, and other shaded areas, such as under decks and along foundations.
