The winter is over, meaning this is the time of the year when we head outside to enjoy fun in the sun. However, if you are like most property owners in Houston, Missouri City, Sugar Land, or Katy, you will notice the area around your home has its fair share of mosquitoes. Instead of assuming mosquitoes are a fact of life and nothing can be done to stop them, be proactive by asking the proven professional pest exterminators to eliminate those annoying bugs for good. Even if you don’t hate mosquitoes like most others, it is still in your interest as well as that of your family and your pets to get rid of these pesky buggers for good with the assistance of our professional pest removal team.
Here’s why.
Mosquitoes are More Than a Mere Annoyance
No one enjoys being bitten by a mosquito. Mosquito bites are annoying, cause a frustrating itch and have the potential to spur a nasty skin reaction such as excessive swelling. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of why mosquitoes are such a problem. These flying bugs also have the potential to trigger an allergic reaction. In some cases, mosquito bites will cause an illness that is insect-borne. As an example, mosquitoes are known to transmit the West Nile virus.
Mosquitoes are a Legitimate Danger to You and Your Loved Ones
Though most people don’t know it, the truth is those diminutive mosquitoes flying through your front and back yard are part of the cause of millions of deaths every single year. In short, mosquitoes are nothing but flying parasites that regularly carry and transmit disease. Those with particularly low immunity have the potential to suffer a life-threatening ailment when bitten by a mosquito.
As an example, mosquitoes sometimes carry dangerous diseases such as Zika, Dengue fever, and Malaria. Dengue fever is especially concerning as it is one of the planet’s most deadly diseases, impacting 400 million individuals in any given year. Sadly, 100 million individuals will become sick after Dengue fever infection. A whopping 22,000 individuals will pass away from severe Dengue fever this year alone. Making matters worse is this virus has been found in the southern states of the United States, meaning Texans have the potential to be infected with it after a mosquito bite.
Recognize the Threat of Mosquitoes
Even if you have become accustomed to swatting at mosquitoes with your hands and moving on with life, you owe it to yourself and your family members to acknowledge the threat posed by these bugs. These nasty blood-suckers spread Zika to Brazil in ’15, causing cases to explode across two dozen nations and territories in the months after. The virus spread quickly as mosquitoes are uber-effective as disease transmitters. In short, mosquitoes spread agents that cause diseases, making it easy for Zika or any other disease listed above to be transmitted to you, your family and others throughout your corner of Texas and beyond.
