What Is The Purpose Of Mosquitoes In Scottsdale?
For Scottsdale residents who have suffered from mosquito bites, it might seem like there is no point to these pests. There are, however, benefits that come with them. The male mosquito is known to pollinate plants while feeding on nectar. Most importantly, mosquitoes serve as a food source for many animals in the ecosystem. Members of nature like reptiles, fish, birds, bats, other insects, and amphibians all rely on mosquitoes for a meal. If these animals are unable to access the food they need, overbrowsing —where animals eat more vegetation than usual —can develop, which can have serious negative effects.
Despite having a beneficial effect on the food chain, most Scottsdale residents don’t want mosquitoes on their property. At Green Home Pest Control, we have devised mosquito control programs that use botanically derived products. We provide control for larvae and adults by treating the areas underneath decks, in standing water, and around a property. We also install In2Care mosquito traps to reduce mosquito activity without interruption. For more information on these services, contact us today.
