Aedes mosquitoes are a common issue in Tierrasanta. These mosquitoes are aggressive biters, often feeding on humans, and can spread diseases like dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya. They lay eggs in places that will eventually collect water, and their eggs can survive dry periods and hatch when conditions are suitable.
Two main species in the area are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, thrives in urban environments and can breed in small water containers. Aedes albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito, is easily recognized by its black body with white stripes. Both species are active during daylight hours, particularly around dawn and dusk.
Tierrasanta Pest Control focuses heavily on controlling Anopheles mosquitoes. These mosquitoes lay their eggs on water surfaces, particularly in areas with heavy vegetation or algae mats. The boat-shaped eggs have lateral floats. Anopheles larvae rest parallel to the water without a siphon, while adults rest in a straight-line posture. These mosquitoes are the only species that can transmit malaria.
In Tierrasanta, five species of Anopheles mosquitoes are prevalent, often found in vegetated pools, algae-covered water, and agricultural areas. Known for biting at dawn, dusk, and night, effective mosquito control is vital to reduce the population and halt the spread of malaria.
In Tierrasanta, Culiseta mosquitoes are a common pest. These mosquitoes lay their eggs on water, with the eggs sticking together to form rafts. The larvae hang downward just beneath the surface of the water. Adult Culiseta mosquitoes have bluntly rounded abdomens, and while some species are less aggressive, others can bite more severely.
Even though they aren’t the most aggressive mosquitoes, Culiseta mosquitoes can still be a nuisance in Tierrasanta. Our mosquito control solutions are designed to minimize their presence, ensuring a more comfortable and safer outdoor space for you and your family.
Culex mosquitoes are prevalent in Tierrasanta and are known to transmit diseases such as West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, and Western equine encephalitis. These mosquitoes are most active during dusk, dawn, and nighttime hours. They lay their eggs on the surface of stagnant water in a raft-like cluster, often seen near ponds and water-filled ditches.
The adult mosquitoes are light brown with a pale band around their proboscis and primarily bite at night. Controlling their population involves removing standing water and using treatments to reduce their numbers.
Our mosquito treatment service starts with a complete inspection of your outdoor areas, targeting places where mosquitoes breed, such as stagnant water and thick foliage. To ensure the best results, we recommend cleaning up your yard and removing standing water before we arrive.
The treatment takes around 30 minutes, depending on the size of your yard. We use fogging and the In2Care system, which are safe for children and pets. The In2Care system continues to prevent mosquito breeding after we leave.
