Problems Caused by Mosquitoes:
In addition to their itchy bite, mosquitoes are a public health concern because some types can carry and transmit dangerous diseases. Proactively treating your property for mosquitos can help minimize mosquito threats such as:
Painful Bites
Beyond the incessant itch, mosquito bites can also cause painful swelling, blisters, and even infections. In some cases, individuals may experience severe allergic reactions that require medical attention, turning a simple bite into a potentially serious health issue.
Risk of Disease Transmission
Mosquitoes are vectors for several viral diseases, including West Nile Virus and Zika Virus, which can lead to severe health complications in humans. These viruses are transmitted through mosquito bites, making effective mosquito control a critical public health measure.
Annoyance to Daily Life
Mosquitoes can ruin outdoor activities like barbecues and pool days, forcing people indoors instead of enjoying the beautiful weather. A mosquito-free backyard means you can enjoy your outdoor living spaces to the fullest.
Risk for Pets
Mosquitoes also pose a threat to our furry friends. They are known carriers of heartworm disease, which can be fatal to dogs. Protecting your pets from mosquito bites is as important as protecting your family.

Effective mosquito management requires expertise and experience. At GGA, our trained experts understand mosquito behavior and breeding, making us a reliable choice for effective and efficient mosquito control solutions tailored to your needs.
Causes of Mosquito Infestations
- Standing Water: Mosquitoes need standing water to breed. Common sources include puddles, ponds, birdbaths, clogged gutters, and containers that collect water. These areas offer perfect conditions for mosquitoes to lay their eggs.
- Vegetation: Tall grass, shrubs, and bushes shelter mosquitoes during the day. Overgrown vegetation around your home can increase the risk of mosquito infestations.
- Climate: Warm and humid climates are ideal for mosquitoes. High temperatures and regular rainfall create environments that support mosquito breeding and boost their population growth.
Effective Treatment and Control Strategies
- Professional Assistance: Hiring a professional pest control service like GGA allows for a thorough assessment and effective treatment of mosquito infestations.
- Surveillance and Identification: Our technicians identify the mosquito species causing the infestation to select the most effective treatment and gauge potential disease risks associated with different mosquito species. We also track where mosquitoes are laying eggs to target the infestation more precisely.
- Control of Larvae and Pupae: We employ various techniques and products to eradicate mosquito larvae and pupae. This approach disrupts mosquito lifecycles and helps prevent future outbreaks.
- Outdoor Treatment: For adult mosquitoes, we use adulticides such as Pyrethrins, Pyrethroids, and Organophosphates. These treatments reduce the adult mosquito population, providing immediate relief from infestations.
- In2Care Mosquito Station: We use the scientifically advanced In2Care Mosquito Station to attract and contaminate mosquitoes with a larvicide they spread to other breeding sites. This eliminates larvae in the trap and hard-to-reach areas, reducing the mosquito population.
Prevention Tips
- Remove Standing Water: Regularly check your property for any standing water. Eliminate or treat potential breeding sites by emptying and cleaning containers, unclogging gutters, and ensuring proper drainage to avoid water accumulation.
- Maintain Outdoor Spaces: Keep your yard tidy by trimming vegetation, mowing the lawn regularly, and removing debris. These efforts help reduce mosquitoes' resting places.
- Use Mosquito Repellents: When outdoors, protect yourself by applying insect repellents that contain DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to your skin and clothing, especially during peak mosquito activity times like dawn, dusk, and evening.
- Install Protective Screens: Fit windows and doors with screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home. Regularly inspect and repair any damaged screens to ensure they remain effective.
- Use Mosquito Nets: Use mosquito nets or screens over beds, cribs, and outdoor seating areas for extra protection against mosquito bites, especially while sleeping or resting outdoors.
With professional treatment and diligent prevention practices, GGA Pest Management keeps your property mosquito-free. We safeguard your family's health and your pets' well-being, enhancing your enjoyment of outdoor spaces without the annoyance or danger posed by mosquitoes.
