STUART MOSQUITO CONTROL SERVICES

Is there a mosquito season in Florida?

Florida has a subtropical climate, providing the warmer temperatures and humidity that attract mosquitoes. So, it may feel as though mosquito season exists throughout much of the year in Stuart. Depending upon weather conditions, it can in fact extend beyond the more typical seven-month period of March through September.

Our recurring treatments will protect you from this biting, disease carrying pest throughout the season. When temperatures dip enough, we can pause treatments.

How many kinds of health threats do mosquitoes pose?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are thirteen viruses and three parasites that mosquitoes can spread: 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. Knowing this, proactive treatments for your family just makes good sense.

How can we reduce the number of mosquitoes on our property?

To reduce the mosquito population, reduce or eliminate places on your property with standing water. It only takes a small amount of water for breeding purposes, so inspect your yard carefully. Places to check include cans and planters, wheelbarrows, kiddie pools, playsets, lawn decorations, and so forth. Frequently change water in any fountains or birdbaths; don’t allow the water to become stagnant. Plus, make sure your rain gutters are clear so that water can properly be released.

What treatment does your mosquito control company in Stuart, FL use?

We use an insect growth regulator that’s fast acting while also being long lasting and quite effective. This treatment interrupts the breeding cycle of the pest while creating a residual protective barrier. We apply treatments where mosquitoes typically lay their eggs with recurring treatments protecting your family throughout the season. As needed, we can pause them when the population is smaller (winter months). You can also benefit from our one-time treatment for special outdoor events.

How do I keep mosquitoes out of my house?

Inspect screens for tears or holes and repair them. Check around windows and doors and seal them up. Don’t keep the doors open any longer than necessary. Fix any leaky pipes or faucets to prevent the creation of more standing water; remove water from trays beneath your indoor plants; and toss out flowers in vases along with the water once the blooms are past their prime. Flush infrequently used toilets (mosquitoes can breed in them!).
