Four Ways Oak Point Residents Can Minimize Mosquitoes In Their Yard

Everybody loves cool evenings spent outdoors after a hot day here in Texas. Nobody, however, likes the company of mosquitoes. In fact, we will do everything we can to keep these annoyances at bay. We light candles, we wear repellant, we burn incense, but it never seems to completely solve the problem. Fortunately, our experts at Adams Exterminating Company has the solutions you need to your mosquito problem.

Description

Everybody can identify a mosquito. They are a small insect with dangling legs, a protruding proboscis, and a whining buzz. Males survive off plant nectar while females require a blood meal to effectively lay eggs. Therefore, when you suffer a mosquito bite, you always are bitten by a mosquito and you are also inadvertently contributing to the population of mosquitoes near your property.

Problem

A drove of biting mosquitoes is not only annoying, but it’s also dangerous. These prolific breeders carry a variety of dangerous diseases such as the Zika virus, malaria, dengue, chikungunya, encephalitis, and tularemia. In fact, mosquitoes are regarded among the deadliest animals on the planet.

Solution

To help protect your loved ones from the threat associated with a mosquito bite, it’s important to implement measures to reduce the mosquito problem on your property. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, therefore most of these tips surround reducing areas of moisture on your property. Here are four tips to minimize the mosquito population in your Oak Point yard:

• Survey your yard for areas of standing water that you can eliminate. Look for playground equipment, wheelbarrows, buckets, birdbaths, or other vessels that collect rainwater. If you can, store elements that will collect water upside down or dump out excess water after a storm.
• Inspect your gutters or downspouts to ensure that they’re draining properly away from your home and into the ground. Fill areas where water pools with crushed stone.
• Keep your grass cut short and your foliage pruned to prevent resting areas for mosquitoes during the day.
• Implement professional mosquito control measures such as backpack misting or mosquito traps to effectively reduce your mosquito population.

Though you will try anything to reduce your mosquito population on your own, you can’t always control every aspect of your environment. You may live near a pond, a marsh, or a moisture-rich wooded area which makes DIY mosquito control almost impossible. If that’s the case, the experts at Adams Exterminating Company can help. We provide backpack misting systems and In2Care mosquito trap installation to help control the mosquito population on your property. Whether you’re looking for recurring mosquito control or a one-time treatment for a special event, we have the solutions for you. Take back your yard.

How to Identify And Eliminate Springtails In Oak Point

You may not know about these occasional invaders unless you develop a problem with springtails. Though we don’t have severe winters in Texas, when temperatures drop, we enjoy our decrease in bugs. One exception, however, is the springtail. 

Description

Springtails are small, wingless insects that are also called snowfleas because of their ability to survive cold temperatures. Though they are not fleas, they can jump from place to place using a forked structure at the end of their abdomen. They are tiny, black hexapods that are only about 1/16 of an inch long. They have two antennae and a segmented body.

They feed on decaying plant matter. They typically emerge on sunny, cold days and prefer damp habitats so that they can feed on mold, fungi, and other organic material.

Problem

Though springtails don’t spread any diseases or cause any structural damage to homes, they can be a nuisance in large numbers, especially if they make their way into your Oak Point home. They are attracted to moisture-rich environments and therefore will thrive in houseplants or near damp areas such as leaking pipes, bathrooms, or drain lines.

Solution

Though springtails are beneficial to our ecosystem as they contribute to the decomposition process, that doesn’t mean we want them in our Oak Point homes. To prevent or treat a springtail problem, look for areas of excess moisture. Repair leaking pipes, ensure that there’s proper ventilation in your bathrooms, and install dehumidifiers in moisture-rich areas. Through these creatures are tiny, do your best to seal up any entry points that would allow these insects to make their way inside. If you continue to experience problems with springtails, the experts at Adams Exterminating Company can help. We will inspect your property for problem areas, provide a free estimate, and come up with a customized plan that solves your springtail infestation.
