Mosquito There are almost 100 species of
Mosquitoes in Only female mosquitoes bite. They need blood to be able to develop
their eggs. While taking blood,
infected mosquitoes can pass on disease-causing viruses and parasites. Exposure to large numbers of mosquitoes
may increase the chance of being infected with a mosquito-borne disease. Mosquitoes breed in STANDING WATER- such
as may occur in old car tires and other water holding containers, pot plant
drip trays, septic and water tanks, roof gutters, domestic ponds, etc. By eliminating these breeding sites
incorporated with pest management spraying you can help to permanently
reduce mosquito numbers in your back yard. During summer the life cycle from egg to
flying adult mosquito takes 7-10 days.
In colder months the life cycle may take several weeks. Stewarts Pest Control can apply a
residual spray to outside areas to reduce nuisance mosquitoes. This in conduction with prevention of
back yard breeding should rid you off your mosquito problems this summer. Disease Worldwide, mosquito-borne viruses and
parasites are major causes of human and animal sickness and death. In WA the main mosquito-borne diseases of
concern are: - Australian Encephalitis - This is a rare but serious disease
occurring in the northern half of WA.
In severe cases, brain damage, paralysis or death may result. Dog Heartworm - This disease of dogs is caused by a
parasitic worm, which in large numbers can clog the heart and seriously
affect the blood flow. Two other diseases, malaria and dengue
fever, have previously occurred in WA and could be reintroduced given the
right conditions. In the case of
malaria, travelers should protect themselves from mosquitoes while overseas
and take malaria tablets. The
mosquito, which carries dengue virus, is no longer in WA, and is less
likely to be reintroduced with the elimination of backyard breeding areas. If you have a problem with Mosquitos and would like to find out more
