MOSQUITO EXTERMINATION AND CONTROL
MOSQUITO CONTROL
Mosquito control is one of the most challenging areas of pest control -- and one of the most important, as evidenced by the recent upsurge in cases of West Nile Virus and other mosquito-borne diseases.
Mosquitoes are flying insects in the taxonomical family Culicidae whose females feed on the blood of humans and other mammals. Both male and female mosquitoes feed on nectar, but females also require blood to produce eggs. A female mosquito cannot lay a single egg until she's had at least one blood meal.
Mosquitoes in the United States are vectors of several serious illnesses including Eastern equine encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, and West Nile virus, Zika virus, among others. As the diagram below shows, all but five states in the US reported human cases of West Nile Virus in 2018. West Nile Virus is a potentially serious and occasionally fatal virus transmitted by mosquitoes.
In view of the continuing concern about mosquitoes, mosquito-borne diseases in general, and West Nile virus in particular, Buckingham Pest Control now offers a comprehensive mosquito control program that can be customized to fit your needs and budget.
