Mosquito Pest Control
Signs of Infestation
When mosquitoes find their way inside your home, they typically seek dark and hidden areas. However, at night time these blood-sucking insects will come out in search of a meal. Often homeowners hear the buzzing sound that mosquitoes make when they fly or land on something nearby.
Mosquitoes breed near standing water so if you live close to ponds with stagnant rainwater it is important for you keep an eye open during mosquito season. Some species may be active all day long while others only emerge just before dusk and remain active throughout the evening hours until dawn breaks again.
West Nile in Wisconsin?
Most pests in Wisconsin are simply a nuisance. However, the dense forestry and waterways foster the proliferation of mosquitoes in our area putting us at risk for the spread of disease. The Culex Pipiens mosquito is a known carrier of the West Nile Virus, and can be found in every county in Wisconsin. Human infection in Wisconsin was first detected in 2002, but proper mosquito population control can help reduce the risk of the disease spreading.
