In La Mesa, Aedes mosquitoes are a frequent nuisance. These mosquitoes are aggressive biters, preferring to feed on humans. They are capable of transmitting diseases like dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs in spots that will fill with water. Their eggs can withstand dry conditions and hatch later on.
The two primary species are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes aegypti, or the yellow fever mosquito, is common in urban areas and breeds in small containers of water. Aedes albopictus, also known as the Asian tiger mosquito, has a black body with white stripes. Both species are active during daylight hours, particularly around dawn and dusk.
At La Mesa Pest Control, we focus on controlling Anopheles mosquitoes, a significant threat to public health. These mosquitoes prefer to lay eggs on water surfaces, especially in spots with dense vegetation or algal blooms. Their eggs are unique, resembling boats with lateral floats. Unlike other species, Anopheles larvae rest flat on the water without the need for a siphon. Adults position their bodies in a straight line while resting. This mosquito is the only known carrier of malaria.
In La Mesa, five different Anopheles species are prevalent, typically in areas with vegetated pools, algae-covered water, and agricultural regions. Their biting activity occurs mainly at dawn, dusk, and after dark, necessitating effective control measures to limit their spread and potential for disease transmission.
In La Mesa, Culiseta mosquitoes are commonly found. They lay their eggs on water surfaces, with the eggs sticking together to form rafts. The larvae hang downward just below the water’s surface. Adults have a rounded abdomen, and although not all species bite, some can be severe biters.
La Mesa’s four species of Culiseta mosquitoes, though generally less aggressive, can still cause issues. Our mosquito control treatments help keep these pests in check, ensuring a safer and more comfortable environment for your family.
Culex mosquitoes in La Mesa are a concern due to their ability to transmit West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, and Western equine encephalitis. They are most active at dawn, dusk, and night. These mosquitoes lay eggs on water, forming raft-like clusters. You’ll often find them near ponds, stagnant water, and areas with vegetation.
Adult mosquitoes are light brown with a pale band around their proboscis. They primarily bite at night. Effective control includes removing stagnant water and applying treatments to keep their population in check.
Our mosquito treatment begins with a thorough inspection of your yard to locate breeding areas like stagnant water and overgrown plants. Before we arrive, we recommend cleaning your yard and eliminating any standing water to ensure the best results.
The treatment takes about 30 minutes, depending on your yard size. We use fogging along with the In2Care system to reduce mosquito populations. Our approach is safe for both kids and pets, and the In2Care system continues working to prevent future breeding.
