Camberley Mosquito Control

A few species of mosquito are present in the United Kingdom. While they aren’t especially prevalent, they can cause infestations in homes and gardens and these are often very problematic. 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 before she lays eggs. While an individual mosquito in the house most likely isn’t a signal of a serious problem, lots of mosquitoes in the same area can be a indication of an infestation and this should be handled as they can breed swiftly.

Mosquitoes in the United Kingdom do not spread diseases, however they can bite and in huge numbers this can be very painful. These pest insects can cause painful, itchy bites in humans and pets, in particular if the mosquitoes are left to travel around your property at night.

The key to effective mosquito control is correct identification of the species. While some mosquitoes can be easily mistaken for other bugs such as gnats or crane flies, mosquitoes make a distinctive high pitched whining noise when they fly. Qualified pest control companies can identify the insect and then apply an effective pest control strategy. This will often include use of a knock down insecticide spray to get rid of adult mosquitoes, accompanied 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 removing the places that mosquitoes can lay eggs.
