Lake Nona Mosquito Control

Standing water is one huge attraction for mosquitoes, and they find it in the forms of planters left outdoors, pet water dishes, pool covers, buckets and bird baths. Mosquitoes attach themselves to the edges of water sources to lay their eggs. It is the Aedes aegypti variety of mosquito, also known as container-breeding mosquitoes, that do this most often. They also find natural sources of standing water after the rain in the forms of clogged gutters on homes, downspouts that don’t drain properly, and areas like drainage ditches, pastures and fields that are irrigated, and flood plains. Other obvious standing water sources are lakes, streams, puddles, creeks and ponds. The other shining attraction for mosquitoes is the people who live in the Lake Nona and Orlando areas. They feast on human and animal blood for the protein it provides, which they can turn around and feed to their young. They are attracted to the carbon dioxide naturally emitted when people breathe, dark clothing, bacteria on people’s skin, and people’s movement. This makes the Lake Nona Mosquito Control trusts, provided expertly by Termite Lawn and Pest, an important ally in getting rid of these pests.
