Clearwater Mosquito Control Services

The website for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists 13 viruses and three parasites that are carried and spread by mosquitoes. These include Cache Valley, Chikungunya, Dengue, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Jamestown Canyon, Japanese Encephalitis, La Crosse Encephalitis, Rift Valley Fever, Ross River Virus Disease, St. Louis Encephalitis, West Nile, Yellow Fever, Zika, Drofiarisis, Lymphatic Filariasis, and Malaria. Proactively protecting your family just makes sense, especially since Florida’s mosquito season is at least seven months long each year.

Reduce (or, if possible, eliminate) places on your property with standing water: cans and planters, playsets and kiddie pools, wheelbarrows, lawn decorations, and more. This is a crucial step because it only takes a small amount of water for mosquitoes to breed. If you have a birdbath or fountain, change water frequently, not letting it become stagnant, ahd make sure that your rain gutters are clear with water being properly dispersed. Here’s more information about eliminating standing water as well as why municipality mosquito spraying often isn’t enough.

We also have a one-time treatment service to ensure your special outdoor occasion is mosquito-free.

They can hitch a ride when you, your family, guests, or pets walk inside or they can slip in when a door is briefly left open. It’s pretty hard to prevent them from entering this way, but you can inspect your home for openings around windows and doors, and seal those up. Check your screens for tiny holes or tears and patch them or replace the screens. Although these aren’t foolproof answers, they can make a difference.

Make sure you don’t have leaky pipes or faucets because they can create the standing water that mosquitoes use to breed. Check trays below your indoor plants and remove any standing water; toss out flowers in vases once they’re past their prime; and check indoor plants for water in their leaves. Flush infrequently used toilets, just in case. 

Cover cribs and toddler beds with netting if you suspect indoor mosquitoes and use repellents for adults until the problem is addressed.

They may help to kill adult mosquitoes but, by themselves, they aren’t a sustainable solution. For long-lasting success, contact us for Clearwater mosquito control services so that we can tackle the insects where they hide and breed.
