Georgia's The Pest Control Store Offers Tips to Help You Battle Mosquitoes

Sept. 8, 2008 - PRLog -- The Pest Control Store can help you battle mosquitoes, especially if you are in the areas hit by the recent hurricanes such as Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and Mississippi. Anytime you get natural phenomenon such as hurricanes that cause extreme rain and flooding you get the perfect situation for mosquitoes to breed and multiply. The Weather Channel said the other night that they are expecting a mosquito population explosion due to all the rain and flooding.

Mosquitoes transmit many diseases all over the world such as West Nile Virus, Malaria, Yellow Fever, etc. They belong to the Order Diptera along with flies, another transmitter of disease. They breed in any type of standing water. It could be a drainage ditch, swimming pools, ponds, flower pots, tires, or just about anything that can hold water. So of course after any significant amount of rain there will be standing water and they will multiply and attack for the blood meal so the females can lay more eggs and continue the cycle.

Obviously the best approach to stop this breeding would be to simply get rid of their breeding sites. Fill in areas that hold water like ditches, get rid of things in the back yard that might hold water, etc. But unfortunately it is just about impossible to get rid of all of the mosquito breeding sites. We know this at The Pest Control Store, which is why we carry several products to help you. We carry the B.t.i. Mosquito Control Larvicide Briquets by Summit. These are donut shaped so you can stake them in an area that normally holds water or you can toss them into standing water. They slowly release the natural bacteria, harmless to fish and plants, that kills mosquito and fly larva in the water for up to 30 days. We also carry many residual concentrates such as Onslaught, Demand CS, Suspend, and Talstar Pro. You can apply these to the mosquito resting areas such as under decks, overhangs, the under sides of leaves of bushes and tall grass. They rest in these areas during the day waiting for dusk to come out and feed. Another great product is PT-565 Plus XLO. It’s a great product to use inside or out. It is an aerosol that you can use as a crack and crevice injector or as a fogger that you control. You can also use it as a yard fogger, say before you have a barbecue or do yard work, to help protect you and so you can enjoy your time in your yard better.
