Mosquitoes thrive on your blood
Our pest control experts will help eradicate them from your residential property!
These blood-sucking insects breed rapidly in warm, humid weather. But don’t discount their ability to survive the cooler months in the Piedmont. They only take a few weeks to mature from eggs to adults. Since mosquito larvae feed on bacteria, algae, and other water microorganisms, they can be disease super-spreaders. They thrive wherever stagnant water collects – in buckets, tree holes, and birdbaths.
Mosquitoes are more than just a pesky nuisance; they are vectors of serious diseases that pose health risks to both humans and animals. In regions like North Carolina, where warm and humid conditions prevail, mosquito populations can thrive, increasing the potential for disease transmission.
