Aedes mosquitoes are common pests in Sacramento, known for their aggressive biting, especially targeting humans. They can spread diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs in locations that collect water, and their eggs can survive dry conditions, hatching later on.
The two main species in the area are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, thrives in urban areas and can breed in small water containers. The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is identified by its black body with white stripes. Both species are active during the day, especially around dawn and dusk.
Anopheles mosquitoes are a primary concern for our mosquito control program in Sacramento. These mosquitoes lay their eggs on the water’s surface, often found in areas with dense vegetation or algal mats. The eggs are boat-shaped with side floats that help them remain buoyant. Anopheles larvae, unlike other mosquito larvae, rest parallel to the water without the use of a siphon. Adult mosquitoes position their bodies in a straight line when resting. These mosquitoes are the only species capable of transmitting malaria, making them a serious public health threat.
In Sacramento, five species of Anopheles mosquitoes thrive, particularly in vegetated pools, areas with algae, and agricultural zones. Known for biting at dawn, dusk, and during nighttime hours, their presence demands effective control strategies to reduce their population and prevent the spread of malaria.
Culiseta mosquitoes are prevalent in Sacramento, commonly laying eggs on water, forming rafts. Their larvae hang downward just beneath the water’s surface. As adults, they have a rounded abdomen, and while some species are known for severe bites, many are less aggressive.
Sacramento is home to four species of Culiseta mosquitoes. While they aren’t as aggressive as some mosquitoes, they still pose a nuisance. Our mosquito control services aim to reduce their population, ensuring a healthier and more enjoyable environment for your family.
Sacramento is home to Culex mosquitoes, which spread diseases like West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, and Western equine encephalitis. These mosquitoes are most active at dawn, dusk, and nighttime. They lay their eggs in water, creating raft-like clusters, and are often found near ponds, stagnant pools, and vegetated areas.
Adults are light brown with a pale band around their proboscis and prefer to bite at night. Controlling these pests involves removing standing water and using effective treatments to reduce their population.
We start our mosquito control with a detailed inspection of your property, identifying breeding spots such as standing water and dense vegetation. To make the treatment more effective, we suggest clearing your yard and removing any standing water before our visit.
The treatment typically takes around 30 minutes, but this can vary depending on your yard’s size. We use a combination of fogging and the In2Care system, which is safe for both children and pets. The In2Care system keeps working after we leave, halting mosquito breeding in your yard.
Keep your yard mosquito-free with our ongoing mosquito control service. Each monthly treatment takes about 30 minutes, depending on the yard’s size. We suggest removing any standing water before we arrive. Our treatments are safe for both children and pets, ensuring your family’s outdoor activities remain enjoyable.
Our In2Care system works by reducing mosquito populations at breeding sites. Monthly fogging adds an extra layer of protection by forming a barrier that prevents mosquitoes from entering from nearby areas. Our technicians will also help identify areas that may attract mosquitoes and offer simple prevention tips. Even after rain, our treatments will keep your yard mosquito-free.
