Mosquitoes Control

This is one bug we all wish we can live without. It seems like their only purpose in life is to make our lives miserable. Surprisingly, not all mosquitoes thrive off of human blood. Male mosquitoes prefer flower nectar, juices, and decaying matter. Its the female mosquito we all need to worry about. Female mosquitoes need blood for reproduction purposes. In addition, female mosquitoes prefer animal blood over humans, especially birds. Even though we are not at the top of their list of targets, this doesn't mean we'll be ignored. The worst part of their bite is the potential of catching a disease. Mosquitoes can carry west nile, malaria, yellow fever, and more. Till this day, mosquitoes have killed more people via disease transmission than any other single factor. Furthermore, mosquitoes can also be the blame for heart worms in cats and dogs.

Mosquitoes Treatment

Did you know there are well over 150 species of mosquitoes residing in our nation? Most of these mosquito species were brought over from other parts of the world. The life cycle is very distant between the sexes. Females can live up to 100 days while males can only live up to 20 days. A female can potentially lay up to 3,000 eggs during the duration of her life. It only takes about 7 days for mosquitoes to fully mature from egg (larvae) to adulthood.

Mosquito Repellent & Killer Spray

For effective mosquito control, the source of the problem (breeding site) needs to be taken care of initially. Skipping this step and going directly for the apparent problem will only provide temporary relief. Mosquito breeding sites are normally found near still water areas. Mosquitoes love wetlands and the humidity, so look into areas where water can potentially be (ex: old containers, inside of tires, pools, tree holes, marshes, puddle ditches and etc).

Q. mosqito repellent and killer spray is harmful or not?
A.   Please provide us with the name of the product so that we are able to better assist you. Generally, the mosquito sprays that are sprayed with a pump sprayer are safe after the treated area is completely dry. Foggers though, are only safe if the treated area is vacant.

Q. how to kill a mosqitos in a pork farm?
A.   Unfortunately, we have no way to advise insecticides to a pork farm since most insecticides have residuals that may potentially harm the pigs. Also, since there is always a moisture whether it is in their water source or around their pens, there will always be a way for mosquitoes to breed. We apologize that we were not able to better assist you.

Q. Mosquito Control Suggestions
Hello, We are in the process of adding a mosquito barrier spraying program. We are looking to follow the standard one spray every 3 weeks. We have an organic solution that we may offer on shorter intravals, but we are looking for a standard product. We still welcome all organic solutions as well. Can you make any suggestions. Obvisouly, the safer the product the better, but we want our programs to be effective for the three weeks. We have looked at Cyonara as a possibility. Also Bifen and Talstar. We have not tried any of them out yet. We want something to mix with water, not oil. We will be using Stihl SR 420 backpack sprayer/foggers. Thank you for any suggestions you may have. We are in North Carolina and are certified.
A.   Thank you for contacting us with your question. For mosquito treatment we would suggest that you use Talstar or Suspend SC.

Q. how to kill mosquitoes
There are random mosquitoes flying around in my house. no windows or doors have been opened.
A.   The mosquitoes could have entered with you as you were coming inside the house. There are still many possibilities of entrances other than open windows or doors in which they may enter the house by. See if there are any standing water near your home in which they could possibly be reproducing in.

Q. I used a permethrin only product that came with my cheap ulv backpack sprayer last year with great results(mosquito 86), ran out and went with something that was supposed to last longer with PBO (vector ban plus). It does not seem to be working like the other and looking for something to work well with my ulv which I use to spray all shrubs, bushes, low hanging branches and perimeter of house and any shady area that I think they could be resting at. Any suggestions about application or product would be appreciated. Walterboro S.C. <><
A.   Currently, we do not carry treatment products for mosquitoes that can be used in ulv sprayers. You could however spray surface treatment products such as Suspend SC along with Archer IGR to control the population and rid of the infestation.
