Aedes mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Fair Oaks. Known for their aggressive bites, they frequently target humans. These mosquitoes can carry diseases like dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya. They prefer to lay eggs in areas that will collect water, and their eggs are resistant to drying out, allowing them to hatch later.
The two most prominent species in the area are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes aegypti, also known as the yellow fever mosquito, typically breeds in small water containers found in urban areas. Aedes albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito, is identified by its black body and white stripes. Both species tend to be active during daylight, particularly around dawn and dusk.
At Fair Oaks Pest Control, Anopheles mosquitoes are a top priority in our mosquito control efforts. These mosquitoes lay their eggs on the water, especially in areas where heavy plant life or algae mats exist. The eggs, shaped like boats, come with side floats to keep them afloat. Anopheles larvae rest flat on the water’s surface as they lack the siphon found in other mosquito species. Adults stand out due to their straight-bodied rest position, often forming an angle with the water or lying perpendicular. These mosquitoes are the only ones capable of transmitting malaria.
In Fair Oaks, five species of Anopheles mosquitoes can be found, particularly around vegetated pools, algae, and agricultural regions. Active during dawn, dusk, and nighttime, they pose a serious risk. Effective control is necessary to limit their numbers and prevent malaria transmission.
Fair Oaks is no stranger to Culiseta mosquitoes, a common breed in California. These mosquitoes deposit their eggs on water, forming egg rafts. The larvae hang at an angle beneath the water. Adult Culiseta mosquitoes have a distinctive rounded abdomen, and while some species are aggressive biters, many are not.
Although they may not be as aggressive as other mosquitoes, Culiseta mosquitoes can still be a nuisance in Fair Oaks. Our specialized mosquito control treatments reduce their presence, promoting a healthier and more pleasant environment for you and your loved ones.
Culex mosquitoes, frequently seen in Fair Oaks, are notorious carriers of West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, and Western equine encephalitis. These insects are most active at dawn, dusk, and after the sun sets. They lay their eggs on water, creating a raft-like pattern. You can often find them near ponds, stagnant pools, or areas with dense vegetation.
Adult Culex mosquitoes are light brown and have a pale band around their proboscis. They prefer nighttime feeding. Effective mosquito control involves removing stagnant water and using appropriate treatments to minimize their population.
Our mosquito control begins with a thorough survey of your property. Our experts check for spots where mosquitoes thrive, such as water puddles and thick bushes. For best results, we encourage you to clean up your yard and remove any water buildup before our team arrives.
On average, the treatment takes about 30 minutes, though larger yards may take longer. We combine fogging and the In2Care system, both of which are safe for children and pets. The In2Care system stays effective after treatment, preventing mosquito populations from increasing.
Our regular mosquito control treatments ensure your yard remains free from these pests. Each service lasts around 30 minutes, depending on the yard’s size. Before we arrive, we advise you to remove any standing water. Our products are safe for pets and kids, so you can relax outdoors without worry.
We utilize the In2Care system to continuously combat mosquitoes. This system reduces mosquito populations by targeting breeding sites. Monthly fogging builds a shield that prevents mosquitoes from neighboring areas. Our technicians will pinpoint areas in your yard that attract mosquitoes and suggest easy fixes. Even after a rainy day, our treatments provide lasting protection.
