Mosquitoes are perhaps one of the most irritating pests Covington homeowners can deal with on their property. Some pests like cockroaches and ants may enter your home looking for food and may be able to make their way into the food stored in your pantry. Other pests like ants and spiders offer the potential of painful, venomous stings. Mosquitoes offer a set of problems of their own. Mosquitoes fly, and they are constantly searching for blood. They have a sophisticated sense of smell and can use it to track you anywhere you go in your yard. If mosquitoes are biting you, even moving to different parts of your yard will not get you away from them because they can simply use their sense of smell to fly to you once again.

The Life Cycle Of Common Mosquitoes
The mosquitoes in Covington that cause homeowners grief on their property are always adult females. Male mosquitoes do not seek blood and survive off the nectar of plants instead. Female mosquitoes use blood in their reproduction cycle and are always searching for this critical component. Although adult female mosquitoes are the ones responsible for biting, all mosquitoes go through these stages of growth before becoming adults:
- Egg: Mosquitoes lay their eggs either near or in water in the early stages of reproduction.
- Larvae: Once the eggs hatch, mosquitoes will spend time in the water as larvae while they feed and grow.
- Pupae: When mosquitoes move into the pupa phase, they remain in the water but no longer feed.
- Adult: When pupae turn into adults, they leave the water and can feed immediately, restarting the whole life cycle process.

The More Mosquitoes The More Risk For Dangerous Disease
When feeding, mosquitoes use a needle-like appendage to pierce the skin and then siphon blood. While they feed, they inject their saliva into the bite area to keep the blood from thickening. Unfortunately, if a mosquito feeds on a host infected with a dangerous pathogen, it can then carry that pathogen to every host it feeds on later by literally injecting it into their bodies as it feeds. Because of this highly effective pathogen transmission factor, mosquitoes are considered the number one disease-spreading vector on Earth. Mosquitoes are associated with tularemia, encephalitis, and the West Nile virus.

The Hassles With Do-It-Yourself Mosquito Control
Mosquitoes can be a difficult problem to try to manage. They do not respond to traditional bait traps and are capable of breeding in even a cap full of water. Mosquitoes are highly mobile pests and can travel several miles to find hosts to feed on. DIY pest control techniques can get rid of some of the pests, but they won’t get all of them, and surviving mosquitoes can quickly regrow the size of the infestation. Your frustration can grow as the mosquito infestation persists.
If you want to keep mosquitoes away, you need to use the most effective treatments possible. Havard Pest Control professionals can offer you years of experience and success; all it takes is for you to today.
