Proven Tips to Prevent Mosquito Infestations

While mosquitoes are difficult to eliminate, there are a few things you can do to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home. The best way to prevent mosquitoes is to eliminate their breeding sites. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, so removing any standing water around your property is important. You should also make sure your gutters are clean and that water is not pooling in your yard.

To help reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home, you should also:

• Keep your lawn trimmed and your shrubs pruned
• Trim back any branches or shrubs that are touching your house
• Make sure your windows and doors have screens
• Use mosquito repellents when you are outside, especially during peak mosquito activity times, like dawn and dusk

While these tips can help reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home, they are not foolproof. If you are having a problem with mosquitoes, contact Adams Exterminating Company for professional mosquito control in Lewisville.

Common Questions About Mosquitoes

Are Mosquitoes Dangerous to Your Health?

Yes, mosquitoes are dangerous. While most mosquito bites are just itchy and annoying, mosquitoes can also transmit a variety of diseases, including the West Nile virus, the Zika virus, and the chikungunya virus. Mosquitoes can also transmit heartworms to dogs and cats.

What is the Lifespan of a Mosquito?

The lifespan of a mosquito depends on the species and the environment. In general, male mosquitoes live for about a week, while female mosquitoes live for a few weeks to a few months. However, some species of mosquitoes can live for as long as six months.

How Many Eggs Can a Mosquito Lay?

The number of eggs a mosquito lays depends on the species. In general, a female mosquito lays about 100 eggs at a time. However, some species of mosquitoes can lay up to 500 eggs at a time. Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, so if you have standing water around your property, you could have a lot of mosquitoes.

What is the Development Time for Mosquitoes?

The amount of time it takes for a mosquito to develop from an egg to an adult depends on the species and the environment. In general, it takes about 10 to 14 days for a mosquito to develop. However, under the right conditions, a mosquito can develop from an egg to an adult in as little as four days.

What Do Mosquitoes Feed On?

While both male and female mosquitoes feed on nectar and plant juices, only female mosquitoes bite. Female mosquitoes need a blood meal to produce eggs. Male mosquitoes do not bite.
