Mosquitoes represent a real calamity for human health. They develop in large numbers once a set of conditions are met. Summer is the time when they proliferate the most. The tiger mosquito species, originating from tropical areas, feeds exclusively on human blood. This promotes their duplication and their bites are extremely painful. Being bitten by a tiger mosquito also exposes one to a vector of tropical disease. How to put an end to a tiger mosquito invasion?
Call a specialized company
The word invasion takes on its full meaning when you feel persecuted by these insects in your home. To put an end to summer invasions of tiger mosquitoes, you can contact specialists in pest control. Thanks to their experience and know-how, they can easily put an end to pest invasions.
Their work will primarily consist of identifying the areas in your home that may constitute potential mosquito breeding sites. These are often damp corners of the garden, overgrown areas, or bushes around your home. Tiger mosquitoes also love flower pots that contain stagnant water, etc. These areas will be treated with insecticides sometimes composed by these companies. Their action is immediate.
Home mosquito control: what you need to know
To treat a tiger mosquito invasion in your home, you need to proceed with mosquito control. This targets all areas infested by mosquitoes.
The techniques commonly used against mosquitoes (UV lamps, anti-mosquito bracelets, ultrasonic devices, etc.) are ineffective against tiger mosquitoes. That’s why insecticides remain the only means to combat these mosquitoes. The entire treatment hinges on the content of the insecticide.
They are available on the market in large quantities. At home, for the use of insecticide, you need a sufficient amount of water to dilute it all around the terrace, in the garden, and in the hedges.
These products immediately kill all the mosquitoes present at the time of spraying and prevent a new establishment for the next 10 days.
Prevention methods against tiger mosquitoes
Once the disinfestation is complete, it is important to protect yourself against tiger mosquitoes. You must begin to keep clean the places that serve as breeding grounds for these mosquitoes. It is essential to eliminate stagnant water from your home, as it often serves as their habitat. It is also crucial to ensure the cleanliness of all containers that hold water in your garden.
If you have a rainwater collection system, it is important to cover it with a high-quality mosquito net to prevent mosquito establishment.
In addition to these methods, mosquito nets can cover all your entrances to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. Also, place mosquito traps in strategic points of the garden. When it comes to plants, be more selective about the species, as they can harbor these mosquitoes.
