When Collier County residents hear about diseases spread by mosquitoes in southern Florida, they may feel worried about having these insects on their own property. The report of more than 10 cases of Dengue fever in 2019 in the Miami area just 100 miles way is disconcerting. They may call for professional pest control in Naples, FL, to see what can be done about the mosquito population around their home.
A Historical Point
Collier County tests mosquitoes in the ongoing battle to prevent the spread of disease by mosquitoes. Interestingly, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control was originally established in 1946 to stop malaria from spreading. At that time, malaria was prevalent in Florida and certain other southern states. Now, the disease is rare in this country.
Pesticide Spraying and Preventive Measures
Technicians providing service for pest control in Naples, FL, may spray the customer’s property to reduce the mosquito population, but they typically focus more on preventive measures. They can walk around the lot with the customers and point out problems they observe.
An Important Example
One important example would be standing water anywhere on the lot since mosquitoes use stagnant water to lay eggs. Mosquito larvae grow there after the eggs hatch and turn into the biting adults. People need to routinely dump rainwater from buckets and other containers. They must keep their eaves troughs cleared of debris. Birdbath water should be changed at least every few days. Professional mosquito control service is provided by A+ Pest and Environmental Services.
