Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance in St. Louis—they pose serious health risks to you and your family. As the summer months approach, mosquito populations can explode, turning your peaceful backyard into a breeding ground for these pests. At STL Pest Control, we understand the dangers mosquitoes bring and are committed to providing effective solutions to keep your home and family safe.
Understanding the Dangers of Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are known carriers of several dangerous diseases, including:
- West Nile Virus: This virus can cause severe neurological illnesses, including encephalitis and meningitis. Symptoms range from mild flu-like symptoms to severe, life-threatening conditions.
- Zika Virus: While primarily a concern for pregnant women due to its link to birth defects, Zika can also cause fever, rash, and joint pain in the general population.
- Dengue Fever: This tropical disease can lead to high fever, severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, and even severe bleeding and shock in extreme cases.
- Chikungunya: Known for causing severe joint pain and fever, this virus can be debilitating and long-lasting.
- Malaria: Although rare in the United States, it’s worth noting that mosquitoes are vectors for malaria, a disease that can cause serious health issues and even death if untreated.
These diseases underscore the importance of effective mosquito control. Even if the risk seems low, the potential consequences of a single mosquito bite can be significant.
STL Pest Control’s Proven Mosquito Control Solutions
At STL Pest Control, we offer a comprehensive approach to mosquito management that includes inspection, treatment, and prevention.
-
Thorough Inspection: Our process begins with a detailed inspection of your property to identify potential mosquito breeding sites. Common areas include standing water in bird baths, clogged gutters, flower pots, and any place where water can accumulate.
-
Customized Treatment Plans: Based on our inspection, we develop a tailored treatment plan that targets mosquito breeding grounds and adult mosquitoes. Our methods are both effective and safe for your family and pets.
-
Barrier Treatments: We apply a barrier spray around your property that kills mosquitoes on contact and continues to repel them for weeks. This creates a protective shield around your home, reducing the mosquito population significantly.
-
Larvicide Applications: To prevent mosquitoes from breeding, we treat standing water with larvicides that kill mosquito larvae before they can mature into biting adults.
-
Ongoing Maintenance: Mosquito control is an ongoing process. We offer regular maintenance visits to ensure that your property remains mosquito-free throughout the season.
