A few species of mosquito are present in the United Kingdom. While they are not especially common, they can cause infestations in homes and gardens and these can be quite difficult. Mosquitoes breed around standing water sources such as bird baths and water butts. Mosquitoes in the United Kingdom can bite humans. The female mosquito will bite prior to laying eggs. While a single mosquito in the house likely isn’t a sign of a serious problem, a number of mosquitoes in the same area can be considered a indication of an infestation which should be handled as they can breed swiftly.
Mosquitoes in the UK do not spread diseases, nonetheless they can bite and in large numbers this can be very painful. These pest insects can cause painful, itchy bites in humans and domestic pets, especially if the mosquitoes are left to travel around the home at night.
The key to successful mosquito control is correct identification of the species. Although some mosquitoes can be recognised incorrectly as other insects such as gnats or crane flies, mosquitoes make a unique high pitched whining noise when they fly. Experienced pest control companies can identify the insect and then implement an effective pest control strategy. This will usually involve use of a knock down insecticide spray to kill adult mosquitoes, followed by an insecticide treatment of plants and bushes in the area along with any standing water sources. This last treatment is designed to kill any larvae or eggs that are present as well as getting rid of the places that mosquitoes can lay eggs.
