Mosquito Control
Welcome to Florida! I'm sure by now you have met our state bird…We're not talking about the northern mockingbird either. Florida's unofficial state bird is in fact the mosquito. Globally there are 3500 different species of mosquitoes, Florida is fortunate enough to have 80 of them. Thats 80 too many!
Mosquitoes are one of the most troublesome insects in Florida because they carry serious diseases. The mosquitoes that are generally considered the most serious threats are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, both of which are vectors of Zika virus. In 2016, the following mosquito-borne diseases were reported in the state:
Zika, Dengue, Malaria, West Nile Virus, and Eastern equine encephalitis.
That's pretty intimidating; kind of makes you want to stay indoors for the rest of your life. But, realistically you don't have to. You should be free to enjoy your backyards spend countless hours at the pool, cook up some burgers with your friends family while enjoying the outdoors.
Technology everyday around us continues to improve and this does not only apply to the phone in your hands. Mosquito control use to be a white truck driving down the road with a thermal fogger spraying the entire Street. Just one massive cloud killing mosquitoes and beneficial insects at the same time.
Luckily like I said technology keeps on improving and we as an industry developed microencapsulated pesticides. These are pesticides that are able to withstand the sun's rays and provide short-term control for mosquitoes. This is great for thoes special events! It provides a quick knock down and all night comfort for up to 72 hours. Now if you want month long control pair this up with our in2care mosquito stations. The In2Care Mosquito Trap effectively attracts and kills Aedes mosquitoes with novel and green ingredients that target both larvae and adults. Trap activity is not limited to the trap itself, but extends to the surrounding area.
As a homeowner there are simple things you can do to reduce the presence of mosquitoes without any pesticides. Mosquitoes need water to reproduce, and they find water in various places such as: pet dishes, fishponds, old tires, planters, drainage ditches, and more This is why removing standing water is your first defense against these pests. Female mosquitoes lay their eggs on the surface of the water — the eggs feed on bacteria in the water.
If you have a mosquito problem we would love to meet with you and discuss if this will work for you.
