Did you know that gnats and mosquitoes are classified as the same species? These pests can be a nuisance and start to appear in the early spring months but will be fully present when the warmer summer months of May through June arrive. If you live in Alabama, then you understand that trying to enjoy the great outdoors is no fun when gnats are around. The impact of Gnats has been amplified by the added pressure and humidity brought on by months of heavy rainfall, as Gnats prefer organic matter and moist environments, which can make nearly any Alabama backyard or dock a prime target for infestations. Thankfully, Mosquito Joe of Gulf Coast Alabama provides gnat-repellent services, so you can return to enjoying your outdoor spaces and backyard swat-free!
What are Gnats attracted to?
Life Cycle of a Gnat
Gnats will move through their life cycle in approximately 30 days. During this time, the male gnats will swarm at dusk and mate with the female who has entered the swarm. From there the female gnat will lay 300 eggs and a total of 1,000 eggs during her lifetime.
“The typical gnats on your property are not a human health issue and more of a nuisance. However, you may experience an itching sensation if a large amount of them are present and the Eye Gnat can be quite bothersome.” Says our own David Price – Associate Certified Entomologist and Mosquito Joe Director of Technical Services. “However, by reducing areas in your yard that help them breed you’ll keep the population under control.”
How Mosquito Joe of Gulf Coast AL can help:
Mosquito Joe of Gulf Coast Alabama can assist you in eradicating gnats in your yard. Gnats are drawn to moist environments, fruits and vegetables, and decaying organic matter. Many of these can be found in the open air, near trash cans, sewage systems, and even in your garden.

-
Place rotting fruit and vegetables in closed containers or bags in garbage cans and dispose of them as soon as possible
-

Service: Mosquito ControlFor 8 years we have been battling the mosquito. We have stayed in many beautiful evenings because of the pests. For the first time this year, after one application by Mosquito Joe, we have enjoyed every night this summer sitting on our deck. What a great service!

Service: Home Pest Control
It actually works!! I was skeptical at first. The mosquitoes are so bad here, but not since we've had this service. My neighbors also signed up because they noticed that we had no mosquitoes.
