Discover The Mosquito Control Park Ridge Residents Use

By Patrick McDonald


On summer nights many people enjoy sitting outside in the yard. Unfortunately the warm evenings bring with them mosquitoes. There are some ways to provide mosquito control Park Ridge residents find very successful. These pests can be eliminated from your yard and garden area permanently. It can be done by simply following some suggestions.

The first thing to do is a survey of the insect problem. This should be done by a trained technician. The technician can identify a boundary where you want to prevent insects from getting in. In addition, it is important to find the breeding areas within the boundaries. There is no point to establishing a barrier to keep the pests out if they are already inside the perimeter breeding.

The next thing to do is implement initial control. This is important for dealing with the insects that are already inside the perimeter and breeding. The insects hid out in moist dark environments. Such environments include very dense shrubbery, thick vegetation, and areas with long grass. These areas are typically treated with insecticide spray.

The effects of a spray typically lasts for twenty eight days and then needs to repeat. If you use a misting system the repeat spray is not necessary. The misting system serves as a barrier. This barrier keeps insects from getting into the yard. Initial sprays help to eliminate the active pests and prevent them from mating.

Only female mosquitoes bite. They need the blood they draw to provide protein to the developing eggs. Female insects that are not breeding, and males, get their nourishment from nectar. The females lay their eggs on the top of standing water. To prevent an infestation of mosquitoes it is vital that all standing water is treated or removed. If you have a pond you need to treat it.

The life cycle of mosquitoes takes 10 to 14 days depending on the species. The breeding process requires water. An old watering can or pail, a birdbath, or a bucket can gather water that stands for days. These are great breeding grounds for the insect who can lay more than 100 eggs at one time every 3 days. A female can lay hundreds of eggs in her lifetime.

This is the standard method of treatment for mosquitoes in Park Ridge, IL. Setting up a barrier using a misting system to automatically spray insecticide about the area will keep the yard protected. A central tank or individual containers feed the insecticide through the spray nozzles at intervals when the insects are very active, in the early hours of the morning, at dusk, and the first hours of darkness.

The insects can be eliminated from your yard and a barrier created to keep new mosquitoes from entering when both systems are used together. Using them both seems to be most effective in controlling the insects. There are some people who are content with the initial spray and repeat sprays. However, areas that are very active will do best when an initial spray is paired with a misting system for a more comprehensive treatment.
