Why You Need Mosquito Exterminators for Your Home or Business

Mosquitoes are a particular problem lately due to the various viruses and pathogens they can carry. While it’s rare that these cases find their way to Long Island, it’s a good idea to take preemptive measures against mosquito populations on your property. If the West Nile Virus scare in New York in 1999 taught us anything, it’s that we can never be too comfortable with these bloodsucking pests.

Mosquitoes are just irritating in general, and the itchy bumps caused by their saliva after a bite can be a nuisance to deal with. But they’re also dangerous to your dogs as they can transmit heartworms. These parasitic roundworms can reside in your dog’s heart or lungs and cause cardiovascular issues.

What Is the Most Effective Method for Mosquito Control?

The most effective method of mosquito control is using a targeted treatment with a comprehensive approach. Which is best left to the professionals!

At East End Tick Control, we’ve perfected our methods over years of serving the Hamptons community. Our approach involves eliminating existing mosquitoes and preventing future infestations by addressing the root causes.

How We Perform Mosquito Control for Your Long Island Home or Business

Mosquitoes have been an issue on Long Island for as long as people have lived here. We’ve developed a technique that is both incredibly effective and leaves your family and the environment unharmed.

First, we establish a perimeter around your property. In order to quell the amount of mosquitoes on your property, we first have to make sure we treat the outskirts of your property. We then work towards the middle of your space, making sure we pay extra attention to areas where your family and guests will spend the most time (like decks and patios).

If you are having a party or celebration on your property, we can utilize our party spraying services for a concentrated dose of our mosquito control spray. We’ll make sure your event goes off without the presence of these annoying pests.

4 Additional Tips for Mosquito Control

Rest assured our mosquito control services are the best way to keep the mosquito population of your property down to a minimum. However, we want to equip you with the knowledge to keep mosquitos at bay in addition to the services we provide.

Stay clear of mosquito breeding grounds.

Mosquitos tend to gravitate toward swamps and other marshy areas as their offspring are bred in standing water. While you can’t easily manipulate the environment around your house, you can take action to remove these areas on your own property. Make sure to wash out birdbaths at least once a week so that drain pipes aren’t holding water and can easily drain out. And make certain that other areas where standing water exists are either washed out frequently or are emptied.

Don’t wear dark clothing (it attracts mosquitoes).

It’s not that mosquitoes have a fashion sense; instead, darker clothing makes you more of a target due to the temperature difference. Dark colors retain more heat than lighter colors, and temperature is one of the main ways mosquitoes locate their next meal.

Watch out for smaller mosquitoes (the giant ones aren’t the problem).

If you’ve ever seen mosquitoes that look much larger than normal, you’ve encountered a male mosquito. While it looks intimidating, male mosquitoes actually aren’t the ones that bite humans. That job is left strictly to the females. Don’t worry, we target both males and females to discourage the breeding of a new generation of mosquitoes.

Know that mosquitoes find you by your breath.

Other than the temperature you put off or movements, mosquitoes primarily find hosts from the CO2 we breathe. CO2 and lactic acid are produced when we breathe and even more so when we engage in physical activity. It is also why bigger people are bitten more often because they produce more of these chemicals at a time than others.
