Understanding Mosquitoes

They are more than just a nuisance. They're intriguing creatures with unique behaviors and life cycles. Did you know that only female mosquitoes bite? They need the protein in our blood to nurture their eggs. And it's not just about the bite; mosquitoes can carry diseases, making effective control crucial for your family's health.

Why Your Backyard Might Be a Mosquito Magnet

Mosquitoes aren't picky guests. They'll crash anywhere with a bit of stagnant water and some nice greenery. Old tires, bird baths, or clogged gutters? All welcome signs for these pesky critters.
