Our exterminators will also drain provide advice concerning using specialized window screens or nets to prevent itchy bites, and provide other helpful tips for outdoor pest control. Here is some additional information about mosquitos and backyard mosquito control that homeowners should know about.

An Overview of Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are a type of insect that have long legs, thin bodies, and thin wings. Only female mosquitoes are capable of biting because male mosquitoes prefer to feed on flowers’ nectar instead. Everyone’s skin reacts to mosquito bites differently, but the redness and swelling of a bite occurs because a female mosquito injects an anticoagulant to enable her to feed on the blood of an unsuspecting host.

In terms of mosquito control in NJ, mosquitoes start to become more active in the spring and come out in full force during the summer months. This is because mosquitoes breed and thrive during warm, moist periods of weather and may continue breeding for long periods of time. Female mosquitoes can lay more than 100 eggs at a time, and those eggs will hatch into larvae within 24 to 48 hours. Perhaps the most troubling aspect of mosquitoes is their ability to carry disease. Without good mosquito control, diseases like West Nile virus, malaria, chikungunya, yellow fever, and dengue can spread and be deadly.

How to Prevent and Treat Mosquito Bites

The best way to prevent mosquito bites is to target mosquitoes before they become a problem. Using professional-grade mosquito control solutions like our specialized spray treatments can effectively reduce the mosquito population around your home. Various over-the-counter products and homemade DIY solutions may offer temporary relief, but a professional treatment provides long-lasting protection. You can also reduce your risk by wearing long sleeves, pants, socks, shoes, and a hat when spending time outdoors.

If you’ve already been bitten, resist the urge to scratch the mosquito bite, as this can lead to infection. Instead, soothe the bite with aloe vera gel, calamine lotion, hydrocortisone cream, or a cold compress. Applying a baking soda paste or taking an over-the-counter antihistamine, such as Benadryl, may also help reduce the itch.

Signs of a Backyard Mosquito Control Issue

Fortunately, you may be able to spot a backyard mosquito control issue before serious bites to humans or animals even take place. Mosquitoes typically make a high-pitched, buzzing sound that you can hear in your yard when it’s quiet outside. You may also notice insects flying around stagnant water, in dim or shaded areas, or an increase in their presence after a spring or summer rainstorm. Unlike many other outdoor pest control issues, mosquitoes don’t cause structural damage to your home. However, they do pose serious risks to the health and safety of people and pets nearby.

When to Hire a Professional Mosquito Exterminator

The primary job of a mosquito exterminator is to effectively control both adult mosquitoes and reduce their breeding environments. For adult mosquitoes, our professional technicians apply targeted spray treatments to key areas around your property, significantly reducing the mosquito population. By treating high-risk areas and creating a protective barrier, we help prevent future infestations.

Prior to rainy times of year are excellent opportunities to hire a professional mosquito exterminator to take a look at your situation and assess how serious of a mosquito control backyard problem you have. For ongoing outdoor pest control management and to prevent future infestations, it is a good idea to have a mosquito treatment performed at least once per month during peak mosquito season. But if you live near a water source or have decorative water features in your yard, more frequent mosquito exterminator services may be needed.

As soon as you notice mosquitos in your yard or feel yourself getting bit, it’s a good time to call a mosquito exterminator professional right away to prevent additional mosquito breeding. At Precise Pest Control, we use a variety of mosquito exterminator methods to address mosquito issues based upon your specific property and the severity of the problem.
