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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I moved here a year ago and was overwhelmed with mosquitos. So I found Mosquito Joe. Was truly amazed with the first treatment and every time it got better. So along came another company with all the bells and whisthat promised everything but was extremely disappointed. So I stayed with them for awhile but the phone calls I made after each treatment to complain that I didn't see a difference and come back and do it again. Of course I was billed again for . So finally I canceled them and went back to Mosquito Joe. They are the best hands down. Don't go with anybody else. You will be truly amazed. Your body will thank you. JESSIE IS THE BOMB!!

I hired Mosquito Joe’s for their accelerated service three weeks ago and have been thoroughly impressed with the results. Previous to their service, I could not go outside at all without getting mosquito bites (which I have a very bad reaction to… ending up with scars on my arms and legs) and, often times, a few would get into the house just from opening the door to come or go. Since I started the Mosquito Joe service, this problem has ENTIRELY gone away and it’s such a joy to be able to spend time outside again. The staff is also friendly, courteous, and professional… all around solid company that provides great care to their customers.

Our backyard had TERRIBLE mosquitoes. Left us pretty much unable to go outside. Luckily I was able to get in contact with this company, they responded fast and immediately. We have dogs and the chemicals used didn’t affect them. Such a great company and team. Thank you!!

For almost the entire first year we lived here my kids and I couldn't be outside because the mosquitoes von out property were SO bad. I love gardening and we have a very fun yard for kids. But none of us would brave the yard because we'd be eaten up so badly that we wouldn't sleep. It was espy bad for our toddler. She would wake up screaming and scratching and there was very little I could do to ease her discomfort. We tried those blue big zapper lamps, citronella plants, every seemingly expensive bug spray and nothing worked. We even used straight up deet and about 15 minutes after the deet itself the mosquitoes were back and biting through my clothes. It was insane and I was just giving up trying to be outside. Then we tried a local guy in the neighborhood who sprays garlic because he was cheaper than mosquito joe. Well that didn't work either and it was stinky outside. Finally we called mosquito joe back and Thank you Jesus, because we FINALLY can be outside enjoying our yard and outdoor life again. Our technician's name is Kevin and he is just the best. Hands down. He calmly and patiently listens to my concerns, he kindly answers every question, he is respectful, kind to my kids and pets, is always on time, and he takes his time. He actually cares! He isn't just trying to get to the next job. He cares and it shows. He is perfect for the job. We are on a budget where every dollar counts but we make sure to make room in the budget for Mosquito Joe. Even my husband who rarely gets to enjoy the yard agrees that the cost is worth it. And like I said, Kevin takes his time and does detailed job. I actually already recommended a friend that's moving to FL have the service too. It's completely worth the $109. What's the point of a great big fun yard if you can't enjoy it? The mosquitoes were even eating us up in our screened in area. Not anymore! Thank you Mosquito Joe for making FL a better experience for us military families. 🤎🤎🤎
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.
-
NoSeeUms, just like all gnats, are always on the hunt for moisture and salt, both of which we know are found in sweat and tears, also known as lacrimal secretions. Add the fact that they’re also attracted to the carbon dioxide we emit when we breathe, and it becomes clear why our faces and heads in general seem to be irresistible for these pesky insects.
-
You’re more than likely referring to gnats. Gnats are the most common small fly in homes. You’ll find them collecting at windows, near your plants, and around your trash can and garbage disposals.
