Mosquitoes are dangerous insects that live across the United States and the rest of the world and are a particular problem in tropical and developing countries. They thrive in areas that provide warm temperatures (above 80 degrees) and lots of standing water that collects in either in man-made or natural containers. Mosquitoes are vectors of numerous dangerous and debilitating diseases, making them a significant threat to both people and animals.
Physical features of a mosquito include:
Mosquitoes are problematic because females require blood meals to complete the reproductive cycle. They feed on human or animal blood by delivering painful, itchy bites using a specialized mouthpart called a proboscis. Excessive itching at the bite sites can lead to secondary infections that require medical attention.
As mosquitoes feed, they transmit various diseases through their saliva, including West Nile virus, Eastern equine encephalitis, and St. Louis encephalitis. In other parts of the world, they spread deadly malaria and yellow fever. These blood-feeding pests also transmit parasitic heartworms to our dogs and cats, which is a fatal condition if not treated by a veterinarian.
Mosquitoes are problematic on any property there is water, whether it's a large human-made pond or a leaking pipe behind a wall. The more sources of standing water (breeding sites), the more likely mosquitoes will be present.
