Mosquito Control Guide: Keep Those Bloodsuckers Away

How are we so good at Mosquito Control? Studying the habits and understanding the life of a mosquito allows us to know where it lives, who it preys on, how it moves, what it looks like in all stages of life, and most importantly, how to get rid of it effectively.

That is how we provide the best mosquito control services at Clegg’s. If you have professionals like Clegg’s on your side, the mosquitoes have no chance of ruining a beautiful summer evening!

Understanding Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are nocturnal creatures that look for a host to feed on at night. During the day, most species find a spot to hide — dense brush and tall grass, holes in the ground or in trees. They can also remain dormant throughout cold months and survive for several months at a time. Knowing their natural habitat is vital for effective extermination.
The lifecycle of a mosquito has 4 stages: Egg, Larvae, Pupa, and Adult. Some species spend half their life in the first three stages, then die after reproducing — lasting as little as one month. Others can live six months or more by surviving through winter. Males only live a few weeks, feeding on flower nectar before dying shortly after fertilizing eggs.
Two things attract mosquitoes: food and a place to breed. Female mosquitoes feed on blood because the eggs she carries require blood nutrients to develop. They use incredible sense of smell and eyesight to target a meal. For breeding, they require stagnant pools of water — any standing water around your yard is a potential mosquito nursery.
Mosquito larvae is the stage in which they are most vulnerable. You need to know what they look like, where to find them (any standing water), and how to kill them effectively. Our experts at Clegg’s are professional bug hunters who know exactly what to look for. Killing these pests before they can even fly gives us a huge advantage.

Why Hire a Professional Like Clegg's?

Hiring a professional to help with your mosquito management will not only save you time and money in the long run but is also a much safer solution for you and your family. At Clegg’s, we will get it done right the first time. You won’t have to stress about finding the best solution or products. Our experienced exterminators will quickly identify and treat your problems, saving you time.

Store bought chemicals for pest control contain many ingredients that aren’t always safe for you or your family. If they are not applied correctly, you could potentially harm yourself, children, or pets. Professionals are experienced and educated in the process — by hiring one, most risk is removed for you.
