Mosquito Pest Control Illinois

Mosquitoes are annoying, but there’s much more to the irritating bugs than an itchy bite or a pestering buzz. They are the deadliest animal in the world, thanks to the dangerous viruses and parasites they can carry. This makes mosquito pest control all the more important in Illinois.

The Potential Dangers of Mosquitoes

While their life cycle is brief, mosquitoes can cause a lot of damage.

In the hunt for blood, mosquitoes can transmit diseases to humans, as well as dogs, cats, and horses. These diseases include:

The West Nile Virus (WNV) is “the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the U.S.” There are no vaccines or medications to treat WNV.

While most people, about 8 out of 10, infected do not develop any symptoms, 2 out of 10 will develop a fever with other symptoms like headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash.

About 1 out of 150 infected people develops a serious illness that affects the central nervous system. Recovery from a severe illness can take several weeks or months, while some effects on the central nervous system can be permanent. Of those people who develop severe illness, about 1 out of 10 of them die.

In 2016, the Rio Olympics were surrounded by news of a Zika outbreak. While it hasn’t gotten much publicity since, the disease is still around and poses a risk, as there is no vaccine or cure for Zika.

Zika infection during pregnancy can cause serious birth defects and other pregnancy problems.

While mosquito bites can cause a variety of forms of encephalitis (St. Louis Encephalitis, La Crosse Encephalitis, Japanese Encephalitis, Eastern Equine Encephalitis), the damage they cause is similar. Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that can cause seizures, coma, movement disorders, and paralysis.

Mosquito Breeding Grounds

Our technicians will also inspect your property and identify any areas where mosquitoes could be hiding. They will point out any standing water near your home, which could be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. This includes puddles, potholes, ditches, or any depressions in your yard. Stationary birdbaths or unused fountains can be a perfect place for mosquitoes to lay their eggs. Cleaning out your yard makes sure mosquitoes do not have a breeding ground, and will reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home. The best thing you can do to get rid of mosquitoes is to disrupt their lifecycle.
