Serving Memphis, Cordova, Germantown & Collierville TN
With temperatures already back in the 80s and the heat of summer still to come, warm weather appears to be back to stay in Memphis for another year. That sunshine and warmth brings an unwelcome consequence: mosquitoes. These flying, blood-sucking insects can leave itchy welts on your skin, making it difficult to go and enjoy the outdoors. You can take measures by yourself to try and repel mosquitoes, such as citronella candles, installing mosquito-deterrent plants such as lavender or buying mosquito repellent spray in bulk. For the best results, we recommend investing in professional mosquito control. Today on the blog, we explain the importance of this service.
3 Reasons that professional mosquito control is important
- Savings: Professional pest control costs money but, comparatively, we believe it is a wise long-term investment. If you opt for home remedies to deter mosquitoes, you will constantly be buying new citronella candles and other do-it-yourself methods to repel these blood-sucking insects. Certain essential oils also are promised to repel mosquitoes but this is not proven. Trying to prevent mosquitoes on your own, in summary, can waste both time and money. Instead, leave your mosquito control needs to the pros.
- Enjoy your outdoor space: Whether you have a simple backyard, a deck, a swimming pool or an elaborate outdoor living space, it can be difficult to enjoy time outside if you are having to fend off mosquitoes or scratch a new round of itchy bites. Professional mosquito control makes it more feasible to enjoy your outdoor living. This can improve your health, your mental well-being and your overall mood.
- Health: Mosquitoes carry diseases and infections. You might have heard about the Zika virus in recent years, for example. Mosquitoes also can carry West Nile virus, malaria and dengue fever, among a variety of other ailments. If a mosquito bites you, you can expect a certain set of symptoms: chiefly itching, redness and mild swelling. Mosquito bites also can trigger an allergic reaction that leads to aggressive redness and swelling, or even the breakout of hives. A severe allergic reaction could be possible, too.
