Florida experiences year-round rain and warm temperatures, creating one of the more humid climates in the Southeast. Unfortunately, this weather combination makes it a perfect place for nuisance mosquitoes to breed and thrive. Adult mosquitoes are attracted to bodies of water, such as lakes and ponds common on Polk County properties. Furthermore, any standing water around your property, including gutters, birdbaths, and flowerpots, will attract mosquitoes and allow them to reproduce.
If you have a mosquito infestation on your Polk County property, don’t resign to using mosquito repellant every time you step outside. Instead, call the mosquito control experts at Critter Control® of Polk County as soon as possible.
Dangers of Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes feed by biting people or pets to draw blood. The cause of most rashes from mosquito bites is actually mosquito saliva left over from a bite.
Aside from causing painfully itchy bites and rashes, mosquitoes can carry pathogens and pass them on to their host. Major diseases that mosquitoes are known to spread include:
- Yellow fever
- Malaria
- Dengue fever
Mosquitoes are a pest that should be dealt with swiftly and properly by professionals. Critter Control® of Polk County can safely remove these pests from your property and keep them away for good.
