How Can I Actively Prevent Mosquito Activity in Cottondale, AL?
There is only one foolproof method of outdoor mosquito control – calling Waynes. Removing stagnant water and other sources of standing water, such as trash can lids, AC drip pans, birdbaths, foundations and filling in potholes will help remove the desirability of your home. Trimming back foliage and places where mosquitoes can hide during the day will help, too. However, you’ll need Waynes’ assistance to ensure that they don’t swarm and come back. While this is handy outdoors – it doesn't solve issues indoors.
In the past, residents of Cottondale, AL, have covered themselves in mosquito repellant, such as DEET and hoped for the best. This form of mosquito prevention, alongside residential mosquito control such as mesh mosquito nets on doors and windows, will cut down the number of bites you’ll receive.
Mosquitoes Explained: Regular Visitors to Cottondale, AL
There are 3,000+ mosquito species found across the world, 200 of which live right here in the USA. While it is possible for any of these species to show up in the South, we usually have our own regular visitors in Cottondale, AL. We’re not talking about long mosquitoes, such as Daddy Long Longs, Crane Flies, and other essentially harmless pests. We’re talking about biting mosquitoes – the kind our mosquito pest control services are on hand to deal with.
Our mosquito control technicians regularly get called out to deal with two types of mosquitoes more than others. These include:
- Asian Tiger Mosquito: Our most common disease spreading mosquito. It gets its name from its black and white bands.
- Common Mosquito: Don’t often carry diseases but are found throughout the USA and will still bite.
Alabama may also be home to the following more exotic mosquitoes:
- Japanese Encephalitis Mosquito: Not as common, but this disease spreading pest also has a black and white body with a yellowish-white stripe down the middle.
- Yellow-Fever Mosquito: This is notable for its dark and light stripes but not overly common. It can spread disease, as its name suggests.
