“Mosquitoes are carriers for certain diseases, some of which can be deadly. In the United States, West Nile virus is the most common and dangerous mosquito-transmitted disease. Mosquitoes also transmit malaria, dengue fever and chikungunya.
Common symptoms of these diseases include fever, body aches, dizziness and confusion.
These symptoms can pop up two days to two weeks after a mosquito bite. If you get bitten and develop flu-like symptoms, see your doctor immediately.
Your chances of being infected with a disease through a mosquito bite are very small, and there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of being bitten.
--Cover your skin as much as you can when you’re outside and mosquitoes are active.
--Use insect repellent on exposed skin
--Make sure there are screens on all the windows and doors in your home and that you cover any rips or tears in them.
--Avoid having standing water around your home.” -http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/08/10/how-dangerous-are-mosquito-bites.html
In our Mosquito protection program we use a backpack fogging system to help with mosquito control. This is a very cost effective method in controlling and eliminating mosquitos as well as other yard insects. The backpack fogging typically last a few weeks and will reduce the amount of mosquitos to a comfortable level. Our skilled technicians are able fog under houses, under and inside bushes, around the edge of yards, and under the eaves of the house. We can service your yard for a one time fee but we highly recommend a monthly or quarterly protection plan.
