This is Roger Tinker, owner and general manager of all star pest control in Columbus, Georgia. This message is for folks that live in a 60 mile radius of Columbus, Georgia and famous city, Alabama. I want to help you understand how to control mosquitoes around your home with some basic information, it would take hours to describe each of the almost 200 different species of mosquitoes found in United States. different species can transmit different diseases, malaria, encephalitis, West Nile fever, and yellow fever are some of these diseases. Mosquitoes need standing more to breathe in. differe
nt species of mosquitoes will vary where and how the water is placed. But the common factor is water that is not in motion. This could be a pond a half a mile from your home, water standing in your neighbor’s ditch, water and a bird bath. And very commonly water and old tires that have not been disposed up. You need to eliminate as many of these conditions as you possibly can. This alone will not control the mosquitoes but it will make a difference. Mosquitoes are attracted to light and is with flies and mosquitoes are flies. They are not attracted to yellow lights. So changing outside lighting the yellow lighting will also help. In most area governmental agencies do not manage mosquito problems like they used to. Their sleeves are problem up to you and me. Using mesh blowers and other application methods can help you in the control of mosquitoes. There are products that claim to have three months or more control for mosquitoes. But I have found that three to four weeks is about the maximum control that I’ve been able to achieve. As I’ve tried everything on the market. Most of our mosquito customers report control last about 30 days. I service allows a customer’s request out when they need it. So they’re not paying for service when they don’t need it. Please call me if I can assist you in any way in helping you control your mosquitoes.
