MOSQUITOESTHOSE PESKY GUESTS
If you’ve been to the South in the summer, Biblical plague
levels are an annual occurrence—especially in Charlotte, North
Carolina. There is no “North” about it though. In the summer
it’s deep South as ever when it comes to mosquitos. Especially
as it seems to get hotter and more humid by the year.
LISTENUP!
A R U Z A P E S T C O N T R O L
FACTSAedes aegypti. One of a couple hundred common
North American mosquito species, plaguing
mankind since the dawn of time. Quite literally.
A R U Z A P E S T C O N T R O L
Mosquitos haven’t changed much in almost 80 million years. That’s because
they are well adapted to their major food source; warm blooded mammals.
The female of the species has specially adapted the serrated proboscis into a
fine tubed needle with pinprick accuracy in extracting blood as a nutritional
source aiding in the production of many, many, many offspring.
01 THEY ALREADYEVOLVED
A R U Z A P E S T C O N T R O L
Mosquitos use carbon dioxide, heat and odor when locating a prey. Studies have
shown that each in it’s own helps a mosquito hunt down an individual, but all
these factors together make them the sharks of the sky. Sensing you out with
a much higher rate of accuracy. Unless you don’t need to breathe, have a
pumping heart, or sweat…then mosquitos have an all day meal pass to your skin.
02 WE FEEDTHEM
A R U Z A P E S T C O N T R O L
A female mosquito needs less than a teacup of water to lay her eggs in, which
then hatch into larvae within about 14 days, and then emerge in the hundreds.
Each female mosquito is capable of having ~3000 offspring during an almost 2
month long lifespan during warmer months. That’s right. Scary math.
03 THEY BREEDFAST
A R U Z A P E S T C O N T R O L
Much scarier too when you consider the number of diseases that mosquito
species carry worldwide and transmit such as Malaria, Chikungunya, Yellow
Fever, West Nile Virus, and Dengue to name a few.
04 THEY TRANSMITDESEASES
A R U Z A P E S T C O N T R O L
The best treatment as they say is prevention. The market is saturated with
harsh repellants, natural deterrents, and other such products that only reduce
the chances of you getting bit by mosquitos that are around.
05 TEMPORARYSOLUTIONS...
A R U Z A P E S T C O N T R O L
Why pay for something that might reduce the chances of you getting bit, when
you could just reduce the numbers of mosquitoes around you in the first place?
You can’t get bit, if there’s nothing to bite. Maybe actually enjoy that Summer
backyard bbq not covered in DEET?
06 ...THAT DOES NOTWORK
A R U Z A P E S T C O N T R O L
Mosquitoes need standing water in which to lay eggs and reproduce. If you
reduce that resource then you began to break the reproduction cycle of the
mosquito. Eventually dwindling down the number of mosquitoes that can bite
you. If you combine that with other avenues that safely and harmlessly pre-
treat outside furnishings and fabrics.
07 YOU NEED TO FIXTHE REAL ISSUE
A R U Z A P E S T C O N T R O L
If the mosquito can’t lay eggs, they can’t breed. If they can’t stand being in the
area then they can’t bite you in the first place. You are attacking their life cycle
from both ends by reducing yourself as a food source for them to breed, as well
as place to do it.
09 ATTACK ALLSIDES
A R U Z A P E S T C O N T R O L
Do yourself a favor and find a pest control company that is trustworthy and
takes the time to understand the life cycle of a pest to better eliminate them
from your home in a more educated and safe manner.
