Pests We Treat - Water in buckets house mosquito larva

Only the females bite because they require a blood meal for egg production. Mosquitoes can transmit diseases through their bites just like ticks. In New Jersey, mosquitoes have transmitted West Nile virus and heartworm disease to our pet cats and dogs. Homeowners can help keep down mosquito populations by keeping items that can collect water in their garage or storage shed, or when possible, at least turn items on there sides so they can no longer hold water. Fill in any water-collecting dips in your yard with soil and grass. However, sometimes water can't be drained or the mosquito problem is so severe that it is affecting the enjoyment of your property. Cowleys can help. This homeowner in Edison, NJ hired us to perform for periodic mosquito treatments. I applied a highly effective larvicide to key areas to wipe out upcoming generations of mosquitoes. With these treatments and the homeowners staying being about removing standing water on their property, mosquitoes won't get in the way of this family enjoying a beautiful Jersey Shore summer!
