What Are the Risks of Mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes bite humans and animals, causing itchy welts on the skin. Some also spread diseases, including West Nile virus, malaria and Zika virus. Even mosquitoes that don’t directly spread disease can be a source of infection if a person scratches their bites and the wound becomes infected.
Mosquitos are drawn to light, so a well-lit backyard can be an attractive area for them. They also breed in standing water, such as puddles, birdbaths and ponds.

Mosquito Pest Control FAQs
You’ve got questions, and we’ve got answers to your questions about mosquito pest control:
When Is The Best Time Of Year To Start Mosquito Control?
Early spring, or March to April, is the best time to start mosquito control. Or, as soon as temperatures reach a consistent 50° F. That’s when mosquitoes come out of hibernation and start reproducing. At this time, you can start mosquito control to better target the larvae and break the breeding cycle.
What Can I Do To Prevent Mosquitoes In My Backyard?
Prevent mosquitoes in your backyard by emptying buckets or watering cans that could have collected standing water. The same goes for tires, planters, and gutters. You can also keep grass cut lower or trim dense bushes, since adult mosquitoes often use these as resting spots. Call for professional help if you have a big mosquito population. This probably calls for stronger, more advanced treatments to keep them out.
How Does Professional Mosquito Control Work?
Professional mosquito control works by using advanced treatments to stop mosquitoes at the source. Quest Termite & Pest will inspect your property, looking for breeding sites to target. We’ll then use the treatments, eliminating larvae in water, for example, and adults in tall grass and bushes. With professional services, you get more widespread and effective control, so the mosquito population can’t grow into a larger problem.
