Mosquitoes are small, flying insects that are attracted to humans and animals. One way to identify a mosquito is by its long, thin body. Mosquitoes also have a proboscis, which is a long, thin tube used for sucking blood. Mosquitoes are usually black or brown, but some species can be green or yellow.

Mosquitoes eat a variety of things, including nectar, fruit juices, and blood. Female mosquitoes need blood to lay eggs. Male mosquitoes do not bite humans or animals because only the female mosquitoes have a proboscis. To get rid of mosquitoes, check out our mosquito services at Insight Pest Solutions!

Mosquitoes can live in a variety of different places, including:

• Bogs
• Marshes
• Swamps
• Lakes
• Ponds
• Rivers
• Streams
• Rainwater that collects in puddles or containers
• Irrigation ditches

Mosquitoes can cause a variety of health problems, including malaria, dengue fever, encephalitis, and the West Nile virus. Mosquitoes can also transmit other diseases, such as the Zika virus, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Eliminate mosquitoes from your property with professional pest control services for peace of mind and a comfortable afternoon outdoors.

You can protect yourself from mosquitoes to a small extent by wearing long sleeves, pants, and socks. Hide your skin and stay indoors if possible when mosquitoes are around. Use a mosquito net to block them from entering your home or getting close to you while you are sleeping. However, these things don’t make mosquitoes go away, and it sure takes away from a nice evening out in your yard. The problem is even worse if you have mosquitoes in house.

Even if you have done all you can in regards to prevention and mosquito removal, these pests often seem impossible to get rid of on your own. If you have a yard or house mosquito problem and you need mosquito treatment, do not waste your time trying to figure it out by yourself! Whether you try using a mosquito sprayer, mosquito fogging, or mosquito repellant, it isn’t going to do much for your pest problem long term. The key is to treat the root of the issue, and this is where the professionals at Insight Pest Control come in. We know how to treat mosquitoes and we can help ensure your backyard is bite-free this summer!

The main synthetic product we use to treat for mosquitoes contains Pyrethrin, which is a natural extract from the Chrysanthemum flower. Around sensitive areas such as gardens, lakes and ponds we use an all-natural 100% garlic extract to ensure we respect and maintain the environment! 

We recommend keeping the family and any pets inside while our technician is treating, and for around 1-hour after the service is completed. This ensures that you and your loved ones are safe before, during and after the spray! 

Our technicians obtain a license through the Ministry of Environment before going through an extensive training process. During training, technicians learn how to perform our service in an effective, safe and efficient manner!
