You are probably hearing increasingly disturbing stories every year about children who go out to play, come back with what looks like common mosquito bites, and a few days later come down with a dangerously high fever. The child is rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with some foreign, hard-to-pronounce, possibly fatal, disease. It might even be a disease that you didn’t think existed in the United States.
So, what happened here? What’s the explanation? It is none other than the pesky mosquito. You are hearing increasing stories like this because they are, unfortunately, becoming more and more common. Mosquitos are a major threat and carry hundreds to thousands of dangerous diseases into the states every year. What at first, just seems like a pesky nuisance has grown into an epidemic of major proportions.
The mosquito has been such a commonly encroaching problem for so many years that most homeowners just write them off. As you can see, that is a mistake. It is time to get serious about mosquito control, and we are here to help you with that.
What Is The Mosquito?
Most people are familiar with this pesky-winged nuisance, but they aren’t intimately acquainted with it. Mosquitos are small flying insects that range in size from .125 millimeters to .75 inches. They don’t even weigh an ounce. Their bodies are slim, their bodies are jointed, and they have a set of wings, six legs, antennae, and prolonged needle-like mouthparts that enable piercing and puncturing of the skin.
A typical mosquito only lives anywhere from two weeks to six months. With their poor eyesight and even slower flying abilities, this pesky little flying nuisance almost appears helpless. There are over 3,000 known specie, but they all have one thing in common. That is the natural thirst for blood! It’s only the females of the species that have the needed mouthparts for puncturing the skin.
A female mosquito can easily transmit diseases and viruses via blood or saliva.
