Mosquito Control in Petersburg, VA

Mosquitoes are probably one of the most complained about and recognized pests around. These common pests are not just prolific breeders and frustrating pests, but they are also vectors for many diseases. Protecting ourselves and our loved ones from these insects is very important and can be done quite easily. Here are the 4 basic parts of getting protected:

Allow NO standing water outdoors. Mosquitoes only need a small amount of water to lay their eggs in. Things such as tires, buckets, plant pots, and toys are common culprits. Be sure that your gutter and all water runoff systems are working properly.

Personal protection has a few steps. Try to limit your early morning and evening outdoor activities because these are mosquitoes’ most active times. Cover up as much of yourself as possible with long sleeves and pants. Use a mosquito repellent that contains DEET.

Make your home a fortress against mosquitoes! Repair or replace damaged insect screens on windows, doors, and vents. Do the same for any exterior door bottoms or weather-stripping. Close your curtains at night to lessen the light that mosquitoes are attracted to.

Get real protection with the mosquito and tick program from the experts here at American Pest. Believe it or not, we can help you to have significantly fewer mosquitoes on your property.
