Serving Memphis, Cordova, Germantown & Collierville TN
Summer will be here before we know it and, for people in Memphis and the surrounding communities, that means the beginning of mosquito season will not be far behind. What should you expect this year? Find out as, today on the blog, your Memphis pest control professionals take a look at the projected mosquito outlook in this area for 2025.
When are mosquitoes active?
You may encounter mosquitoes whenever the temperature is at least 50 degrees. When you factor in the increased rains that fall during the spring, and how mosquitoes can use even the smallest area of standing water as a breeding ground, spring represents an especially prolific time of year for these blood-sucking insects.
Once the weather gets warm and stays warm, mosquitoes keep buzzing until winter arrives again. Last year, unseasonably high temperatures had experts project that mosquitoes would stay active well into the fall.
The risks of mosquitoes
A mosquito bite leaves a red, itchy welt on your skin. The hazards posed by these insects go beyond just the discomfort of the bites. Mosquitoes also carry disease. In fact, last year, the first case of West Nile virus in the state of Tennessee was registered right here in Shelby County.
Some of the other diseases that mosquitoes carry include:
- Malaria
- Zika virus
- Dengue
- Yellow fever
- Mosquito bites also can transmit heartworms to dogs
Professional mosquito control represents your best defense
While there is no way to guarantee that you will not experience mosquitoes this year, when it comes to preventing these pests, having your home or business treated by a professional pest control company is the best available method of prevention. A high-quality, experienced company such as AAA Termite & Pest uses proven mosquito control treatments.
How does mosquito control work?
One of our technicians will come out to your property and apply a solution that serves as a barrier to deter mosquitoes from the area. This solution is administered with a backpack mister and needs to dry for 30 minutes after delivery to take full effect. We recommend repeat treatments every three to four weeks, working around the weather. Regular applications of our mosquito control solution help defend your home or business from mosquitoes, protecting you, your family and your pets.
Making mosquito control fit your budget
We understand you are probably affected by rising prices. We try to make our mosquito control as convenient as possible. Our smallest package treats areas up to 10,000 square feet in size – also approximately one quarter of an acre. Moreover, while mosquito control services do not require a contract like standard pest control prevention treatments, you will need to have repeat applications conducted to maintain protection.
