Mosquito Control Near Me

Mosquito control near me.  Being able to control mosquitoes within a ten-foot radius defines mosquito control near me.  How is this accomplished?  Simple – Greenbug!  But we need to discuss mosquito behavior first.

Mosquitoes have been a challenge to humans ever since mankind existed.  These high-pitched blood suckers require a blood meal from warm blooded creatures in order to have the necessary protein to lay more eggs and perpetuate the species.  As mosquitoes are harvesting their blood meal, they inject a numbing saliva into the skin of the victim and begin to suck blood.  After getting all the blood necessary, the mosquitoes fly off and the mosquito “bite” begins to form.  It isn’t a bite at all – it is an allergic reaction to the saliva that causes the swelling, itching and misery of mosquito ‘bites’.

Some people barely react to mosquito saliva while others have a full-on allergic event. Some people get huge, hard welts on the skin that fester and ooze taking weeks to heal.  Some victims inadvertently scrape the skin away trying to squelch the intense itching only to cause bloody, sometimes infected sores. 

So, what exactly is mosquito control near me? It is the conquering of mosquitoes within a personal radius so that there are no mosquito bites to be had.  No high-pitched whizzing by the ear, no miserable welts on the skin.  When you have no evidence or knowledge of a mosquito anywhere near – that qualifies as mosquito control near me.

To have no mosquitoes nearby, there must be no opportunity for mosquitoes to breed.  No standing water to provide the perfect nesting site.  No standing water is a tall order – mosquitoes need only a half teaspoon of standing water to lay eggs.  There are many, many opportunities in a rainy climate to hold merely a half teaspoon of water!  Just the underside of one magnolia leaf can breed enough blood sucking skeeters to make a backyard inhospitable.  Imagine if a property had water basins below all potted plants, gutters that don’t fully drain, and a plethora of water catching surfaces like grill covers, kid’s toys, etc. all colluding to give mosquitoes plenty of sites to lay eggs.  That is the opposite of mosquito control near me!

Since it is nearly impossible to completely eradicate all standing water at all times, there are steps to take to maximize mosquito control nearby.  The best step is to have a Greenbug System that creates a bubble of protection across your entire property that mosquitoes just will not cross.  If they don’t come to your yard, they won’t lay eggs and therefore you will not hatch blood-seeking skeeters. 

If a Greenbug System is not an option, the Greenbug for People/Pets can give you a personal bubble of protection and you can take that with you everywhere you go.
