Mosquito Pest Control in Phoenix, Arizona
Mosquito Activity in our Area
Even in relatively dry states like Arizona, irrigation systems and surrounding lakes, as well as stagnant puddles, ponds, and pools create breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Of the 176 species of mosquitoes in the United States, the following are found in Arizona: Asian Tiger Mosquito, Western Encephalitis Mosquito, Southern House Mosquito, Dark Rice Field Mosquito, Yellow Fever Mosquito, Western Malaria Mosquito, and Inland Floodwater Mosquito
Are Mosquitoes Harmful?
Most of us are familiar with the annoying itch caused by a mosquito bite. But in some cases, these bites are responsible for spreading deadly diseases, such as the West Nile virus, the Zika virus, malaria, and St. Louis Encephalitis. That’s all the more reason to keep these little pests at bay.
What’s Attracting Mosquitoes Around Your Home?
- Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water. Anything with even a small amount of standing water like tires, buckets, and birdbaths, provides the right breeding habitat for mosquitoes.
- Mosquitoes seek shelter wherever they can find it. Yard debris makes a good hiding spot for them. They rest underneath piles of leaves and grass clippings, and in standing grass and shrubs.
- Water features and irrigation leaks are a mosquito’s dream. Not only do they provide standing water, but they provide a place where mosquitoes can lay their eggs and larvae can develop.
Ways to Fight the Scourge of Mosquitoes
- Dump all standing water and prevent it from pooling again by keeping garbage cans tightly sealed, unclogging gutters, and other measures.
- Maintain pools and water features.
- Repair dripping outdoor faucets or irrigation leaks.
- Keep grasses cut and shrubs trimmed.
- Clear debris, especially wet vegetation.
