Phoenix is a bustling metropolitan area. The housing market is strong, and housing prices continue to rise. Local businesses are thriving, and new businesses are starting every day. The weather is temperate, with mild winters and long summers that make the growing season prosperous. Many things make Phoenix a wonderful place to live.

Unfortunately, mosquitoes can make it nearly impossible to enjoy your yard. If you are outside while hungry mosquitoes are in the area, they will quickly come after you in search of a meal. Due to the way they find hosts, there's no way that you can successfully get away from them as long as you are outside. Mosquito infestations don't just introduce you to painful and itchy bites; they can also expose you to health risks.

If you need mosquito control in Phoenix, Eco Valley Pest Control is the company you must call. We have extensive experience handling all area pests and can also deal with mosquitoes. Call us today for help with mosquitoes.

Understanding Mosquito Behavior: Insights Into Why They Bite

When a mosquito bites you, it isn't looking for nourishment; mosquitoes feed on nectar for nutrition, just like many other insects. Then why do they bite? Mosquitoes need the protein found in the blood to produce eggs. They use a complex sense of smell to track you and can travel miles searching for hosts.

If you need mosquito control services, we can help. We have been serving the needs of Phoenix residents for years, and our combined years of service allow us to eliminate any pest problem effectively. Contact us today to get rid of mosquito infestations.

Health Risks Of Mosquito Bites: Warning Signs To Watch For

The most significant threat mosquito bites pose is that they can spread diseases; this is one of the reasons that mosquitoes are considered one of the most dangerous insects in the world.

Mosquitoes are associated with diseases like West Nile virus, yellow fever, dengue fever, and some types of encephalitis. 

Given that mosquito bites can be pretty serious, here are signs to look for:

  • Fever
  • Nausea
  • Rashes
  • Swelling
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue

If any of these signs develop after a mosquito has bitten you, it might indicate that you're allergic to the bite or that the mosquito may have potentially infected you with a disease. If symptoms become severe, seek medical attention.

If you're looking to eliminate mosquito infestations, however, it's recommended that you seek attention. Call us at Eco Valley Pest Control today, and let us help you with local mosquito control.

Protecting Yourself: Prevention Measures Against Mosquito Bites

Given that mosquito bites can be serious, here are some ways to decrease your chances of having to deal with mosquitoes

  • Eliminate water sources: Eliminating standing water can help decrease mosquito breeding opportunities.
  • Trim the greenery: Trimming your bushes and hedges reduces mosquito harborage areas.
  • Avoid mosquitoes: Mosquitoes are the most active at dawn and dusk. Avoid being outside during these times to decrease your exposure to mosquitoes.
  • Wear appropriate clothing: Wearing pants and long sleeve shirts can help decrease the ability of mosquitoes to bite.

These tips can help you avoid mosquitoes, but residential mosquito control is the best bet for getting mosquitoes out of your yard. If you need help with a mosquito infestation today, get in touch with us and let Eco Valley Pest Control be your mosquito exterminator of choice.
