A few species of mosquito are present in the UK. While they aren’t very prevalent, they can cause infestations in homes and gardens and these can be very difficult. Mosquitoes breed around standing water sources such as bird baths and water butts. Mosquitoes in the UK can bite humans. The female mosquito will bite before she lays eggs. While a single mosquito in the house most likely is not a signal of a significant problem, lots of mosquitoes in the same area can be a signal of an infestation which should be controlled as they can breed quickly.
Mosquitoes in the UK do not spread diseases, however they can bite and in large numbers this can be very painful. These pest insects can cause painful, itchy bites in humans and pets, especially if the mosquitoes are left to travel around the house at night.
The key to successful mosquito control is precise identification of the species. While some mosquitoes can be easily mistaken for 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 apply an effective pest control strategy. This will commonly consist of 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 eliminating the places that mosquitoes can lay eggs.
