Mosquito Control Naples, FL

Mosquitoes are attracted to humans for a variety of reasons:

– Carbon dioxide: Mosquitoes are drawn to the carbon dioxide we exhale when we breathe. 
– Body heat: If you are producing more heat than the people around you, you may be more attractive to mosquitoes.
– Body chemistry/odor: Mosquitoes are also attracted to certain chemicals that our bodies produce, such as lactic acid and uric acid. These chemicals are present in sweat. Additionally, some people naturally have more bacteria on their skin than others, which can also attract mosquitoes. 
– Clothing color: Dark clothes in certain colors, such as black and red, can also attract mosquitoes. 
– Genetics: Finally, it’s worth noting that some people are simply more attractive to mosquitoes than others. If your body produces certain chemicals or compounds that mosquitoes find particularly appealing, you may be more likely to get bitten.

To ensure the safe use of pesticides, mosquito control companies must follow strict regulations and guidelines established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These guidelines include requirements for proper storage, handling, and disposal of pesticides, as well as training and certification requirements for pesticide applicators. When used properly, these pesticides can be effective at controlling mosquito populations while minimizing risks to humans and the environment.

Kish Pest professionals follow or exceed the guidelines established by the EPA. In addition, we have strict business processes in place that help us protect our customers and our staff. We also remain mindful of how our actions affect local ecosystems. 

It’s important to note that kids and pets may be more sensitive to the chemicals present in sprays. We recommend avoiding freshly treated areas until the product has had plenty of time to dry.

Bug zappers, also known as electric insect killers, attract flying insects with a bright light and then electrocute them with a high-voltage electric shock. While bug zappers can be effective at killing some flying insects, their overall effectiveness at reducing mosquito populations is limited.
Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide and body heat rather than bright light, so bug zappers are not an effective way to control large numbers of mosquitoes. 

In some cases, bug zappers can actually make mosquito problems worse by killing large numbers of beneficial insects that would otherwise help control mosquito populations. This can create a vacuum that allows mosquitoes to thrive and reproduce without competition from other insects.
It’s best to use methods that specifically target mosquitoes, such as repellent sprays, mosquito nets, and larvicides.

Our mosquito spray services provide a barrier of protection that lasts for weeks. The repellent characteristic of the treatment naturally becomes less effective over time. This is why our mosquito control services are offered on a monthly basis. Some months require more vigilance to keep mosquitoes away – breeding season, rainy seasons, even times of rapid plant growth. We are only a call away when you need a booster application between regular service visits. Let’s work together to keep your property as inhospitable as possible to mosquitoes and their larvae.
