LOCAL PEST CONTROLLERS ARE IN YOUR AREA DEALING WITH ISSUES NOW!
In most cases, the pest controller applies an insecticide near mosquito alighting surfaces. The insects will make contact, which will kill them as they groom themselves. This is one form of control.
It's normal to see the odd mosquito entering your property during the summer months, but larger swarms indicate a breeding site somewhere nearby.
Normally treating the areas of activity is a one-off treatment. However this depends on the location, accessibility and amount of activity in the area.
Adult female mosquitoes can live up to 5 months with males around 7 days.The time that it takes for an egg to develop into an adult, can take around 14 to 20 days depending on external environmental factors.
A female mosquito will lay up to 500 eggs at a time. In total it takes approximately 2 days days for an adult mosquito from pupae (coccoon) stage to reach sexual maturity.
Like any pest, mosquitos will stay as close to a food source as possible. Clear damp external areas and put restrictive measures in place such as nets over windows and doors to stop them finding places to breed indoors.
