A mosquito infestation is obvious because they make their presence known. High-pitched buzzing noises and insects that bite at dusk and dawn are enough of an indication that you have a mosquito problem.
It is important to understand why your home or business may be attracting mosquitoes as this is the first step in taking control of the infestation.
Inspect your surroundings regularly to identify and eliminate potential breeding and resting zones:
- Standing water: Adult female mosquitoes are attracted to stagnant water to lay their eggs. Plant saucers, pet bowls, cracks in the ground and guttering can collect water and offer the female mosquito a safe space to lay her eggs. Only half a tablespoon of water is needed to successfully continue the breeding cycle.
- Overgrown lawns: During the day, mosquitoes like to rest in cool, shady spots so overgrown lawns and shrubbery offer many places for them to rest before becoming active again later in the day.
Our fully trained technicians know exactly where mosquitoes are likely to breed or hide. Treatment by our Rentokil experts always begins with a thorough site inspection to identify breeding zones and make recommendations for their removal. In situations where the source of the problem is off site, there are several treatments our technicians can recommend to protect your space.
