Aedes mosquitoes are a common issue in Rancho San Diego. These mosquitoes are aggressive and often target humans for feeding. They can spread diseases like dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Aedes mosquitoes lay eggs in places that will fill with water, and their eggs can survive dry periods before hatching.
Two significant species in this area are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes aegypti, known as the yellow fever mosquito, thrives in urban environments and breeds in small water containers. The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is characterized by its black body with white stripes. Both are most active during the day, especially at dawn and dusk.
Rancho San Diego faces a significant challenge from Anopheles mosquitoes, which lay eggs on the water’s surface, particularly in areas with vegetation or algal blooms. The boat-like eggs have lateral floats, and the larvae, unlike other mosquito species, lie flat on the water without a siphon. Adults rest in a straight line, often angled against surfaces. Anopheles mosquitoes are the sole carriers of malaria, making them a critical concern.
In Rancho San Diego, five species of Anopheles mosquitoes are prevalent, often found in vegetated pools, algal mats, and agricultural zones. These mosquitoes bite primarily at dawn, dusk, and nighttime, requiring effective control efforts to manage their population and stop the potential spread of malaria.
In Rancho San Diego, Culiseta mosquitoes are a common pest. These mosquitoes lay their eggs on water surfaces, forming egg rafts. The larvae hang downward at a slight angle. Adults have bluntly rounded abdomens, and while some species are severe biters, others are more passive.
While they tend to be less aggressive, Culiseta mosquitoes in Rancho San Diego can still pose a problem. Our mosquito control solutions reduce their numbers, offering a more secure and comfortable space for you and your family.
Culex mosquitoes, found throughout Rancho San Diego, are notorious for spreading diseases like West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, and Western equine encephalitis. They are most active at dawn, dusk, and nighttime. Culex mosquitoes lay eggs on water surfaces in a raft-like pattern. You can usually find them near ponds, stagnant water, or vegetated areas.
Adult mosquitoes are light brown with a pale band around their proboscis. They prefer nighttime biting. Effective control measures include eliminating stagnant water and applying treatments to reduce their population.
Our mosquito control service starts with an in-depth assessment of your yard, focusing on areas where mosquitoes tend to breed, like stagnant water and dense foliage. For the best results, it’s helpful to tidy up your yard and remove any standing water before our team arrives.
Treatment usually takes around 30 minutes, depending on the size of your yard. We employ both fogging and the In2Care system, which are safe for children and pets. The In2Care system keeps working after we leave to stop mosquito breeding in your yard.
Our ongoing mosquito control service ensures a mosquito-free yard, perfect for family enjoyment. Each monthly treatment typically takes 30 minutes, depending on yard size.
