Effective Mosquito Control in Birmingham to Protect Your Home and Outdoor Spaces

Mosquitoes are small and common but cause one of the most significant pest problems worldwide. Unfortunately, mosquitoes predate dinosaurs, so they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. But that doesn’t mean you have to put up with them.

Mosquitoes are hard to eliminate because they breed quickly, are adaptable, and can form a resistance to over-the-counter repellents. Don’t stress; you’re in good hands because Vulcan Termite & Pest Control Inc. has solutions for you. 

For over 40 years, we have provided top-of-the-line mosquito control in Birmingham, AL. Here’s why effective mosquito control makes a difference in your home and outdoor spaces:

 

Mosquitoes Suck

It’s as simple as that; mosquitoes suck both literally and figuratively. So, what happens when a mosquito bites you?

The female mosquito (yes, only females bite people) uses her sharp mouthparts to pierce your skin. She leaves behind a saliva-like substance as she sucks your blood, which causes itching, redness, and swelling, as well as an inflamed lump that won’t go away for days. If the mosquito is a disease vector, it can easily transmit the pathogens through this substance and into your bloodstream.

As one of the most disease-ridden pests out there, you risk catching the Zika virus, malaria, Dengue fever, and many other threatening illnesses from mosquitoes. The chances might be slim, but never none!

 

Mosquito Threats Raise Awareness

Due to the severity of health threats mosquitoes can cause, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) joined forces to develop a mosquito control approach that limits the spread of diseases by mosquito populations. 

These agencies coined the phrase “integrated pest management” (IPM), which involves strategies that target pest prevention, pest reduction, and the removal of conditions that lead to mosquito infestations. 

Integrative pest control service providers, such as Vulcan Termite, have all the necessary resources for mosquito control in Birmingham. Mosquito repellents fall into two categories: adulticides and larvicides. One of our pest experts will determine the course of action based on the severity of a mosquito infestation.

 

Our Approach to Mosquito Control in Birmingham

At Vulcan Termite, we provide a free inspection of your indoor and outdoor space to pinpoint where mosquito activity is recurring. From there, our pest experts can customize a treatment approach to meet your needs. 

We use a variety of fogging, barrier, and targeted treatments and take measures to ensure they are safe for homes with children and pets. These treatments repel mosquitoes and prevent future infestations.

Our mosquito treatment process begins with a barrier treatment around the property, a repellent solution applied every 2-4 weeks, and, finally, targeted sprays to reduce the risk of re-infestation.

We recommend year-round pest control in Birmingham due to the subtropical climate, which makes Alabama the ideal environment for mosquito populations. However, we have various custom treatment plans to ensure you get the protection you need.
