Why are Mosquitoes dangerous?
Mosquitoes pose a significant problem for humans due to their annoying presence and potential to carry diseases. Here are some important facts about mosquitoes that everyone should know.
Mosquito Biology: Mosquitoes are insects closely related to houseflies. They undergo four stages of growth in their life cycle – egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
The eggs of certain types of mosquitoes are laid on water and typically hatch within one or two days. Conversely, other types of mosquitoes lay their eggs in dry areas that will eventually fill with water, allowing the eggs to survive for several months before hatching. Once the larvae hatch, they live, feed, and grow in the water. Fully-grown larvae then transition into pupae. During the pupal stage, feeding ceases, and significant changes occur that lead to the emergence of adult mosquitoes. The entire cycle from egg to adult mosquito can take as little as two weeks, but typically spans around 21 days. This is why our monthly plan at Bugno Pest Control is recommended for effectively managing the mosquito population in your yard.
1. Egg: Shortly after reaching adulthood, male and female mosquitoes mate. It's important to note that only the female mosquito requires a blood meal for egg production. Each species may prefer blood from different animals, including birds, frogs, deer, or humans.
2. Larva: In North Carolina alone, there are over 60 types of mosquitoes. Fortunately, many of these do not pose a threat to humans. Adult mosquitoes generally live for about two to three weeks, during which time the female can consume several blood meals and lay hundreds of eggs.

Addition ways to prevent Mosquito Bites
Use one of the three mosquito repellents recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as part of your pest management services. DEET (30 percent or less for adults and 10 percent or less for children) and picaridin are considered to be the most effective mosquito repellents. Oil of lemon eucalyptus also repels mosquitoes but is less effective than DEET. Always follow the label directions when using any of these products. To prevent mosquito breeding, empty, destroy, recycle, or cover containers like tires, tin cans, buckets, and bottles where mosquitoes can lay their eggs. Additionally, change water in birdbaths and pet bowls at least once a week and remove or empty dishes under potted plants. For a more comprehensive solution, consider enlisting Bugno Pest Control for effective pest extermination. Stock ponds and ditches with fish to help control mosquito populations.
