Mosquito Control Choices For Wenham MA

Mosquito Information, UncategorizedJeff Emerson

 

 

 

Adulticides,Barrier Spray Treatments and Lavacides are the three best known practices to achieve mosquito control. Lets go over each one in more depth. Do you know witch one is right for you?

 

Adulticides are the most common ways your County will treat for mosquito populations that may be carrying a virus. You have more then likely seen them spraying what appears to be a  white cloud of mist floating away from there vehicle.  The pesticides that are being applied by a misting gun are only short lived in the environment. When the mist cloud stops drifting and lands the effectiveness is gone. Adulticides that are sprayed in this manner are targeting the adult mosquitoes in flight. This application is usually done in and near wet or swampy areas during dawn and dusk of each day. This application even though its very effective does very little in helping you in your quest to be mosquito free in your back yard.

Barrier Spray Treatments can be either all-natural or pesticides. The pesticides are more effective in eradicating adult mosquitoes then the all natural choices. The all-naturals need to be reapplied sooner then the pesticides, as they are not as stable in the environment and effectiveness is lost much sooner, both are effective in reducing the mosquito population by large numbers.  Witch one you may choose depends upon what your trying to achieve with known effectiveness and costs between the two choices.

Mosquito Control

Lavacides are pesticides that will attack and kill the first three stages of the mosquitoes life cycle before they become adults, there are many products and different ways to achieve these results. If you can control the first three stages of the mosquitoes life cycle the effectiveness of the barrier sprays are much more effective achieving your goal of being mosquito free.

Mosquito and Tick Control in North Reading MA

UncategorizedJeff Emerson

It’s almost February and we are all thinking Spring in North Reading MA!!! So aren’t the Mosquitoes and Ticks, where it has been  rainier then usual this is allowing for a huge growth rate on Mosquitoes this Spring thru Summer. Mosquito eggs will survive up to several years without any moisture. Once the eggs are introduced to moisture they can hatch within 4 to 10 days. Ticks on the other hand  just love soil temperatures to stay north of 45 degrees. Early control is most recommended with pesticide treatments targeting ticks as early as late March. Mosquito control should start when your daily temperatures get 50 degrees. Water should be treated even sooner to kill their eggs before their adults. It’s not to early to start thinking about your Spring and Summer days and nights mosquito and tick free!!!

Keep Your Eyes Peeled For These Mosquito Control Eaters

Keep Your Eyes Peeled For These Mosquito Control Eaters

Mother nature, much like the team at Mosquito Enemy, has always had an all-star lineup when it comes to mosquito control fighting technicians. From birds like Purple Martins to bats, dragonflies, spiders, fish, and frogs, the natural mosquito hunting team can often be found right in your backyard. So, who are the predators?

  •  Bats: The first of the mosquito hunters are bats. While bats are one of the most renowned eaters of mosquitoes, they are far more effective at locating, catching and eating other insects.
  • Birds: Avians are one of humanities best friends when it comes to consuming mosquitoes. Purple Martins, swallows, and waterfowl (like geese, terns, ducks) stand at the apex of winged mosquito eaters. Even more so, many birds are known to eat both the adult and aquatic stages of mosquitoes.
  • Fish: For those who didn’t know, fish are actually big mosquito eaters! There are many types of fish that feed on mosquitos, especially the mosquito larvae. Some of the big eaters include guppies, bass, bluegill and catfish. But, the leader of the predatory fish has to be the Gambusia Affinis, which is commonly known as the mosquito fish.
  • Frogs: Though mosquitoes do not often make up a large part of their diet, frogs and tadpoles do help eat away at mosquito populations. Not many species of frogs are known for eating many mosquitoes as tadpoles, generally preferring to feed on small, suspended particles of plant-related materials instead.
  • Dragonflies: Though harmless crane flies often called “mosquito hawks,” that name truly belongs to dragonflies. Though they do eat mosquitoes, Dragonflies often do not eat enough to put large dents within the wild mosquito populations. Even so, during the dragonflies’ aquatic stage a large bulk of their food consists of mosquito larvae.
  • Predacious Mosquitoes: An amazing fact about mosquitoes is that some species will actually prey on other mosquitoes. The genus Toxorhynchites, or “elephant mosquito” is the most well known of the predatory mosquito species. This certain species of mosquito have larvae which are predacious on other mosquito larvae all the while adults are not known to transmit disease. They also do not consume blood!
  • Spiders: Spiders are one of the many of the opportunistic predators of mosquitoes. Spiders only truly become mosquito predators when a mosquito inadvertently flies into its web.

Here’s a fun activity: next time you go outside, either alone or with company, try and make a game out of finding as many members of Mother Nature’s mosquito eaters as possible!

When it comes to chowing down on mosquitoes some of these predators can consume enough to noticeably reduce the population in an area, while others eat so few that you can barely tell a difference. Each one of these predators do make welcomed contributions to fighting mosquitoes.

How To Remove a Tick

How To Remove a Tick

cta1-150x77

 

 

 

Ticks become active as soon as the air temperatures reach 55 degrees in Andover and surrounding areas. So I thought today would be a great time to talk to you about proper tick removal.

  • First make sure you have fine tipped tweezers to grab the tick as close to the skin as possible.
  • Once you have a strong grasp as close to the skin pull straight up  with good even pressure.  No jerking or twisting as this may cause the mouth part to break off  in the skin. If this happens remove the mouth parts with your tweezers. If you can not remove the mouth parts easily let the area heal naturally.
  • Once the tick is removed clean the area with rubbing alcohol, then with soap and water or a iodine scrub.

If you notice a rash or have a fever in the next few weeks see your doctor and be sure to mention about the tick bite. Control ticks with a barrier spray application from Mosquito Enemy Call Today!  With the temperatures getting warmer it is now time to get on our busy schedule for your first treatment.

Larvicides or Adulticides For Mosquito Control Which One Is The Correct Choice For Me?

UncategorizedJeff Emerson

Larvicides or Adulticides For Mosquito Control Which One Is The Correct Choice For Me?

Mosquioto-Life-Cycle-150x148

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before  we can answer this question we must first understand how larvicides and adulticides are different. Where do mosquitos lay their eggs and  rest during the day?

Larvicides are  products used to kill the eggs, larva or pupae of the mosquitos before they turn into adults. The Larvicides can either be a biological or chemical product. Larvicides are introduced right into the water that holds mosquito eggs, larvae or pupae. When applied the overall population of mosquitos will be greatly reduced.

Adulticides are products used to kill adult mosquitos. There are different types of equipment used  to treat infected areas such as truck mounted foggers, airplane sprayers, hand-held sprayers and misters. When adulticides are applied by a Mosquito Enemy licensed and trained technician you will notice an immediate reduction of mosquitos thus reducing the infected mosquitos that could possibly transmit West Nile Virus or EEE.
