Key indicators of a mosquito infestation

Mosquito infestations can develop quickly, particularly in areas with standing water. Common signs of a mosquito infestation include:

• Frequent mosquito bites: If you’re constantly being bitten by mosquitoes indoors or outdoors, it may indicate an infestation nearby.
• Standing water: Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so any stagnant pools, clogged gutters, or unmaintained ponds can attract them.
• Mosquito larvae: If you notice wriggling larvae in water sources, it’s a sign that mosquitoes are breeding in the area.

If you’re experiencing these signs, Rentokil can help by providing thorough inspections and targeted treatments to reduce mosquitoes.

Proven mosquito control methods

Rentokil uses a combination of proven methods to control mosquito populations and reduce the risk of future infestations.

Mosquito inspection

Our technicians start with a thorough inspection to identify mosquito breeding sites and areas where adult mosquitoes are most active. This helps us develop a targeted treatment plan that addresses both the larvae and adult mosquitoes.

Mosquito larvicide treatment (Granules)

To control mosquito larvae before they become adults, we apply larvicide granules to standing water sources. This treatment prevents larvae from developing into adult mosquitoes, effectively breaking the mosquito lifecycle.

Mosquito adulticide treatment (Spray)

For immediate relief from adult mosquitoes, Rentokil uses adulticide sprays. These treatments target mosquitoes in the air and on surfaces, reducing the current population and providing fast knockdown results.

Mosquito level testing

We conduct mosquito level testing to assess the severity of the infestation and monitor the effectiveness of our treatments. This testing helps us tailor our approach to ensure maximum impact on mosquito populations.

Mosquito knockdown

Knockdown treatments quickly reduce the number of mosquitoes in heavily infested areas. This method is particularly effective for outdoor events or areas where immediate mosquito control is needed.

Mosquito management program

For long-term mosquito control, Rentokil offers a straightforward mosquito management program. This program includes regular inspections, treatments, and monitoring to keep mosquito populations in check and prevent future outbreaks.

Understanding the health risks posed by mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are known carriers of diseases such as dengue, Ross River virus, and Zika virus. These diseases can pose serious health risks, making mosquito control essential for both residential and commercial properties. Rentokil’s mosquito control solutions not only reduce the nuisance of mosquito bites but also help protect your family and employees from mosquito-borne illnesses.
