Llanelli Mosquito Control

A few species of mosquito are present in the UK. While they aren’t very common, they do cause infestations in homes and gardens and these can be extremely problematic. 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 home probably is not a sign of a serious problem, a number of mosquitoes in the same area can be a sign of an infestation and this should be managed as they can breed swiftly.

Mosquitoes in the UK do not spread diseases, nonetheless they can bite and in large numbers this is very painful. These pest insects can cause painful, itchy bites in humans and pets, especially if the mosquitoes are left to travel around the property at night.

The key to successful mosquito control is correct identification of the species. Although some mosquitoes can be recognised incorrectly as other bugs such as gnats or crane flies, mosquitoes make a unique high pitched whining noise when they fly. Specialist pest control companies can identify the insect and then employ a highly effective pest control strategy. This will commonly involve use of a knock down insecticide spray to eliminate 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.
