Mosquitoes are more than a nuisance; they are carriers of serious diseases, such as the West Nile Virus, that pose significant health risks. In St. Louis, the battle against these tiny pests is critical, especially during the warmer months when they are most active. STL Pest Control stands at the forefront of this battle, offering advanced, eco-friendly solutions to keep your homes and businesses mosquito-free.
The Threat Lurking in Your Backyard
Mosquitoes thrive in standing water, transforming even the smallest amount into a breeding ground. Diseases like Zika and West Nile Virus have underscored the importance of vigilant mosquito control in our community. With West Nile Virus cases identified across the country, including Missouri, understanding and combating the mosquito threat is more crucial than ever.
STL Pest Control’s Integrated Approach to Mosquito Management
At STL Pest Control, we don’t just treat mosquitoes; we target them at their source. Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy combines scientific research, practical experience, and environmental responsibility to offer the most effective and sustainable mosquito control solutions.
- Habitat Modification: Eliminating breeding sites is key. We conduct thorough property inspections to identify and remove or treat standing water sources, from birdbaths to clogged gutters.
- Biological Control: We employ natural predators and eco-friendly treatments that specifically target mosquito larvae without harming other wildlife.
- Safe Chemical Use: When necessary, we use EPA-approved insecticides in targeted applications to minimize the adult mosquito population, ensuring the safety of your family and pets.
Proactive Measures for Mosquito Prevention
You can take several steps to minimize mosquito presence and protect your family from bites:
- Drain: Regularly empty standing water from containers like flower pots and bird baths.
- Dress: Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
- Defend: Use EPA-recommended insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
- Dawn and Dusk: Limit outdoor activities during these peak mosquito feeding times.
