How to Combat Mosquitoes in 10 Simple Steps


Mosquitoes, the unwelcome guests at every backyard barbecue and garden party, are more than mere pests. They pose a significant health risk to you, your loved ones, and even your pets. Did you know that mosquitoes are actually the deadliest animals on earth? They kill 725,000 humans globally each year. Plus, our pets are also in their crosshairs with the threat of heartworm disease. So, learning how to combat mosquitoes can protect you, your family, and your pets, which is serious business.

Of course, most people don't take a mosquito bite too seriously. However, debilitating allergies and other vector-borne diseases can be transmitted whenever a female mosquito bites. Fortunately, our team of bug experts has some ways to help keep mosquitoes away from your patio, garden, and other outdoor areas. So, if you're ready to learn how to fight mosquitoes, Mosquito Joe® class is about to begin.

Make no mistake — winning this battle won't be easy. Mosquitoes have existed for over 225 million years for a reason. These suckers know how to survive. Did you know that a mosquito's journey from egg to biting adulthood is just 4-7 days? They just can't wait to start bugging and biting us! And they can swell their ranks with astonishing speed. A mosquito lays 100-300 eggs at a time, and a single female mosquito lays between 1,000 to 3,000 eggs in her lifetime! Quite an impressive feat for such a tiny creature.
