Mosquitoes are both pesky and can cause health concerns. Unfortunately for us, mosquitoes enjoy calling this valley home. They can ruin a family barbecue as well as a trip to Nicholson Park. This makes Kuna Mosquito Control a very important thing for everyone who lives in the valley.
Identification
Mosquitoes are 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch in length. They vary in color from gray to white or silver, and can have green or blue iridescent scales. They have antennae, six legs and can fly. Only female mosquitoes suck our blood and hunt for food by detecting body heat and carbon dioxide. Mosquitoes need water to breed and can do so in any form of stagnant water. This could include ponds, puddles, bird baths, or storm drains.
Dangers
Mosquitoes pose a threat to humans because they are known to spread multiple kind of diseases. A few of the diseases they can spread include malaria, yellow fever and the West Nile virus.
Prevention
To prevent mosquitoes from accumulating and breeding on your property, make sure you eliminate any standing bodies of water on your property. This could be areas as small as water pooling on top of a grill cover or in a flower pot. Make sure that if you do go outside, especially at dusk, that you wear long sleeves and bug spray.
