The Ultimate Guide To Effective Mosquito Control For Baltimore Properties

Mosquito season in Baltimore comes with certain unavoidable annoyances; the buzzing, the itching, the endless swatting. But if mosquitoes decide to nest on your property, those minor hindrances snowball into significant problems. So how can Baltimore homeowners keep mosquitoes under control on their property?

It's no easy task on your own, but ATC Pest Control is here to make it easier. As Baltimore's leading pest control experts, we want to show you how you can turn the tide against these pests. Read below to learn more, and reach out to ATC Pest Control for the best pest control in Baltimore. 

The Life Cycle Of Common Mosquitoes

The life cycle of a mosquito consists of four stages; egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The first three stages occur in or near water because females deposit their eggs. The whole process is short; from the moment an egg is laid to when the adult dies, the lifecycle is only a few months long.

The life cycle is important because if you want to get rid of mosquitoes on your property, you have to eliminate mosquitoes at all stages. Otherwise, eggs will eventually become adults and repeat the cycle. ATC Pest Control technicians have the training and products needed to remove mosquitoes no matter their life stage.

The Dangerous Diseases Mosquito Bites Can Spread

The dangers of mosquitoes are well publicized, but what's not understood by some is how widespread diseases caused by mosquitoes are. As global temperatures rise, mosquitoes can comfortably live in a broader range of places, spreading exotic diseases further over time. The diseases caused by mosquitoes include dengue, malaria, yellow fever, and Zika, among others.

The best way to control mosquitoes in Baltimore without putting yourself at risk is to hire professionals. Our experts at ATC Pest Control treat the safety of your family and pets as a chief concern before, during, and after treatment. All of our treatments are EPA approved.
