No See Um Control from Mosquito Joe of Melbourne

No-see-ums are a type of gnat that populate damp areas around your property and aquatic habitats such as fast-flowing streams and deep lakes. Just like mosquitoes, no-see-ums bite and extract blood from humans and animals. Non-biting midges, or chironomids, are gray and less than 1/8 of an inch in length. In the adult stage, they resemble mosquitoes, with females utilizing their long proboscis to extract blood from their victims.

Although the midge life cycle lasts less than three weeks, from egg to adult, they can be quite a nuisance for people trying to enjoy outdoor activities. No-see-ums will readily bite humans and pets, causing painful and itchy areas on the skin. Those allergic to biting midges may also experience long-lasting sores around the bite areas. Luckily, Mosquito Joe of Melbourne offers no-see-um control treatments helping you take back your outside spaces!

What Attracts No-See-Um’s and Other Gnats?

There are two main things that are most likely attracting gnats to your yard – moisture and rotting organic matter. All gnats from no-see-ums to fungus gnats require these two things to breed.

Items attracting gnats to your yard:

  • Overwatering your lawn

  • Build-up of grass clippings

  • Rotten logs

  • Dead plants

  • Unremoved stumps

    For 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!

    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.

    Common Questions about No-See-Ums and Other Gnats in Melbourne, FL

    • NoSeeUms, and other gnats, are drawn to excess moisture and scents that can be relatively common in homes, especially in humid areas like Melbourne, FL! Anything from indoor plants, rotting food, even body lotions can attract these pests. To avoid making your place inviting to these buzzing insects, be sure to throw out produce promptly, keep your drains and garbage disposals clean, and remember that it pays to be extra diligent in the warmer, moister summer months.
