mosquitoes in nashville tn
Mosquitoes are members of the same insect order as flies and gnats. They are ¼-3/8 of an inch in length with a round head and slim body; they are pale brown with white stripes across their abdomen. Both female and male mosquitoes feed on the sugars from plants, nectar, and honeydew. However, it is only the female that delivers the painful “bite” that we associate mosquitoes with. The female needs the protein from the blood in order to produce her eggs.
Mosquitoes are very dangerous to humans because of the diseases that they can spread. Currently on the rise are cases of the West Nile virus, which spreads from mosquitoes biting infected birds and then spread the virus to humans. Mosquitoes have also been known to spread malaria, yellow fever, and dengue fever as well as many others.
Mosquitoes use standing water as breeding sites; if your property has areas with standing water such as ponds, wading pools, or artificial containers you have the perfect environment for mosquitoes to live in. Mosquitoes live outdoors and like to hide in areas of high grass and in bushes during the heat of the day.

Controlling mosquitoes can be a very frustrating task for home and business owners. They breed and live outdoors, making it impossible to completely eliminate them; they are also capable of traveling several miles from one breeding ground to another. Reducing mosquito populations is usually most effectively accomplished by professionals; if you have a mosquito problem contact Monitor Pest Control today.
With over 25 years of experience, we know the time, effort, and commitment it takes to reduce mosquito activity. With Monitor Pest Control, you’ll receive trained professionals, serious commitment, and thorough treatments.
Reducing areas of standing water will significantly lower the number of mosquitoes on your property; without standing water, they cannot reproduce. Also keeping your grass cut short and keeping bushes trimmed down will help to discourage them from seeing your property as a resting area. Make sure that all doors and windows have screens installed if they are opened and that the screens are fully intact to prevent them from entering your home or business.
