Aedes mosquitoes are common pests in Clairemont. Known for their aggressive biting habits, these mosquitoes prefer feeding on humans and can transmit diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Aedes mosquitoes lay eggs in spots that collect water, and their eggs are resistant to drying out, hatching when the conditions are right.
Two primary species in the area are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes aegypti, also known as the yellow fever mosquito, is common in urban areas and breeds in small water containers. The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, has a black body with white stripes. Both species are active mainly during the day, especially at dawn and dusk.
At Clairemont Pest Control, our efforts are focused on combating Anopheles mosquitoes. These mosquitoes lay their eggs on water surfaces, particularly in areas with dense plant life or algae. The eggs are boat-shaped and have lateral floats. Anopheles larvae rest parallel to the water, without the siphon seen in other mosquito species. Adults rest with their bodies straight and angled. These mosquitoes are the only known carriers of malaria.
In Clairemont, five species of Anopheles mosquitoes are common, thriving in vegetated pools, algae mats, and farmland. Their biting activity occurs primarily at dawn, dusk, and after dark, making mosquito control crucial to preventing the spread of malaria.
In Clairemont, Culiseta mosquitoes are commonly found. These mosquitoes lay their eggs on water surfaces, creating rafts of eggs. The larvae suspend themselves at an angle just below the water’s surface. As adults, they have bluntly rounded abdomens, and some species are known to bite hard.
Even though these mosquitoes are less aggressive, they can still cause discomfort. Clairemont Pest Control offers effective mosquito control treatments, ensuring your outdoor areas are safe and more comfortable.
Culex mosquitoes, common in Clairemont, are known carriers of diseases like West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, and Western equine encephalitis. They are most active at dawn, dusk, and after dark. They lay eggs on the surface of water, forming raft-like clusters. You will often find them near ponds, stagnant pools, or vegetated areas.
These mosquitoes are light brown with a pale band around their proboscis. Effective control includes removing stagnant water and using treatments to reduce their population.
We begin the mosquito control process with a careful inspection of your yard, identifying breeding areas such as standing water and thick vegetation. Before our visit, we recommend clearing any standing water to improve the treatment’s effectiveness.
Typically, the treatment takes about 30 minutes, depending on the size of your yard. We use fogging and the In2Care system, which are safe for children and pets. The In2Care system continues to work after treatment to stop mosquito breeding.
