We have several treatment methods to deal with the mosquitoes that can threaten your family and pets in the backyard. Mosquitoes leave irritating bites, but they are more than just a nuisance. In fact, mosquitoes are one of the world’s deadliest pests. They can spread dangerous diseases such as Dengue fever, Australian Encephalitis, Ross River fever, Malaria, Yellow fever, and pet heartworms. Don’t let them ruin an outdoor special event or even just dinner on the deck with the family.
Thanks to our hot summers and breeding conditions that mosquitoes love, treating Australian “mozzies” requires a multi-faceted approach. If you’re experiencing an infestation, Turbo Pest Control’s expert technicians will visit the problematic location and find the breeding sites. They will identify and remove any stagnant water sources, apply high quality pest control products and install Flying Insect Control systems.
Mosquitoes are not only annoying pests that cause itchy bites; they can also transmit serious diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus.

You can rake open the nest and pour in boiling water (add liquid soap for extra killing power). Boiling water does kill vegetation, so be careful using this method on lawns. Some say to add vinegar but that will definitely kill vegetation, so we don’t recommend it.
Mosquito prevention at home starts with removing areas of standing water. A small fan at outdoor gatherings may also reduce mosquitoes, since they’re not strong flyers. Plants like marigolds, catnip, and lavender can help naturally repel mosquitoes (as long as the groundhogs and deer don’t eat them first). You can also have professional treatments done, including mosquito traps.
Under normal conditions, the average adult mosquito generally lives for approximately 2 to 3 weeks. However, the lifespan of mosquitoes can actually range from weeks to months, depending on the species, environment, and season.

If you have a backyard, odds are good you have mosquitoes! The main thing that attracts mosquitoes? You! You’re their meal, after all. Make sure to dump standing water and keep your landscaping on point. Although mosquitoes are generally attracted to body heat and carbon dioxide, studies have shown that other factors such as blood type and the presence of naturally occurring bacteria on skin can make some people more appetizing to these blood-sucking pests than others. Additionally, dark colored clothing and perfume have been known to attract Culex mosquitoes.
Common house mosquitoes are most commonly found in warm and wet environments. These hospitable conditions are ideal for these pests to find hosts to feed on, as well as lay their eggs. There are over 3,500 species of mosquito on Earth and they are found on every continent except Antarctica.
