For the last several years, Atlanta has been ranked as the worst city in the United States for mosquitoes. Mosquito season typically begins in May, as temperatures rise above 80 degrees. For homeowners who want to enjoy their yards and business owners who want customers to enjoy their patios, mosquito control is critical. Monitor Pest Control offers yearly service and regular visits to keep your property comfortable and mosquito-free.
Why Are Mosquitoes So Bad in Atlanta?
Mosquitos are generally worse in areas with warm climates and water sources. Atlanta and the whole of North Georgia fit that bill. Our many lakes, rivers, streams, and marshlands in the warm, humid weather give mosquito populations an ideal place to breed and their larvae to grow.
How To Get Rid of Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are not only just annoying nuisances, they can carry dangerous diseases, like Zika, West Nile Virus, and malaria. It is important for homeowners to take care when they notice these insects in their home or yard. If you’re noticing a lot of mosquitoes, professional pest control is your best option. Our team will use professional-grade chemical insecticides to kill the mosquitoes at all life stages, specific to your property’s needs.
