Frequently Asked Questions

Why is mosquito control so important?

Professional mosquito control is important because mosquitoes won’t go away on their own. 

Due to the numerous diseases they transmit, mosquitoes are considered among the most dangerous pests on earth. While the diseases they carry are less of a concern in the United States than in other parts of the world, they still pose a very real health hazard to humans they share living space with. Professional treatment keeps you free from the dangers they pose and the nuisance of their buzzing and biting.

What attracts mosquitoes to my home?

Mosquitoes spend most of their lives in water, so they look for sources of standing water to use for breeding pools. These can include swamps and ponds, but can also mean your pool, bird fountain, gutters, or puddles in your backyard. If you want to free yourself from mosquitoes, eliminating sources of standing water from around your property is key.

Why do mosquitoes bite?

Only female mosquitoes bite. They do this in order to suck the nutrients in our blood to nourish their eggs. While the bite itself is rarely painful except for the itchy bumps it leaves behind, the diseases the bites can carry can pose huge health hazards.

Are some people more attractive to mosquitoes than others?

Yes. Unfortunately, some people are more prone to mosquito bites than others due to a number of factors. While research continues on the subject, factors that can make you more attractive to mosquitoes include the amount of carbon dioxide you exhale, the odors produced by your skin, and your diet - especially if you’ve consumed alcohol.

Can I prevent myself from mosquito bites?

Yes and no. There are a number of steps you can take to minimize your risk for mosquito bites as much as possible. These steps include:

• Avoiding outdoor activity in the morning and late afternoon
• Wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants when outdoors whenever possible
• Wearing lighter-colored clothing when outside
• Applying protective mosquito repellent with DEET to your skin and clothing
• Eliminating sources of standing water from your home and yard
• Ensuring your drains and gutters are working properly
• Keeping exterior doors and windows closed or screened at all times

Unfortunately, while these steps can greatly reduce your chances for mosquito bites, there’s only one real solution to keep mosquitoes off your person: eliminate them from the area entirely. If mosquitoes are buzzing around your home or business, don’t wait: contact the professionals at TNT Home and Commercial Services for help.
