Why is continuous mosquito control essential?

Continuous mosquito control is crucial for maintaining a mosquito-free environment. Regular treatments help reduce the risk of infestations and keep the mosquito lifecycle under control.

  • Mosquito larvae develop rapidly – Mosquito eggs can survive up to 8 months in dry conditions and hatch into larvae within 24-48 hours.
  • Mosquito sources outside the treatment area – Mosquito larvae can develop in areas outside the reach of treatment. Continuous mosquito control is essential to prevent new infestations.
  • Hard-to-reach areas – Certain areas may be difficult to treat, thus it requires additional mosquito control products, such as mosquito traps to ensure complete control.
