Hello World! Welcome Friends! Mosquitoes are small and annoying. They buzz by your head several times, alerting you to their presence with their high-pitched whine. But, it’s invariably difficult to spot them and eliminate them before they manage to bite you. They are attracted by the warmth of your blood, the need to drink it, and the carbon dioxide you breathe out.
It’s worth noting that only the females bite. A bite is annoying as it is usually itchy and comes up in a red welt. However, mosquitoes can also carry a variety of diseases, some of which can be deadly. That’s why you’ll want to keep them out of your home.
Window & Door Screens
Flies and mosquitoes are small, allowing them to squeeze through tiny gaps and enter your home. Of course, you’ve probably taken precautions and covered the biggest openings with high-quality flyscreen doors and window screens.
However, if you’re still finding mosquitoes in your home then you may be wondering if your flyscreen is working. The first thing you need to do is check it. Providing the screen is fitted snugly to the door or window and it isn’t damaged, then the flies and mosquitoes won’t be able to get through it. They are unlikely to see the screen and will fly straight into it. This can make it an effective way of killing them as well as keeping them out of your home.
How Mosquitoes Get In
If you’re happy that your flyscreen is intact then you may want to know how the mosquitoes are getting in. There are several possibilities that you need to check and deal with.
Damaged Screens
If your flyscreens are damaged then mosquitoes and other pests can easily fly in and visit your home. Unfortunately, once they are in and have bitten you they will lay their eggs in still water. This can then lead to baby mosquitoes hatching inside your home. That’s not a good thing. If that’s the case, contact powerpestcontrol.ca. They can give you an assessment of what is needed in order for you to have a pest free home.
Open Windows
It may sound silly but mosquitoes will happily fly straight in open windows and doors. If you have children you’ll probably have already experienced the issues. You’ve fitted flyscreens on doors but they are being left open, eliminating their usefulness.
It’s important to explain to all household members the importance of the screens and of keeping them shut.
Gaps In Your Home
Finally, you may have tiny gaps in your home that allow pests, such as mosquitoes in. Take a look around your home, paying particular attention to areas around windows and doors. Mosquitoes can get through the smallest of gaps and they will if they can detect your carbon dioxide and blood.
Seal the gaps up straight away to help prevent the mosquitoes from making their way into your home. It’s worth checking the exterior periodically to ensure the screens are in good condition and no gaps have appeared.
