Below you’ll find a list of the typical environments that foster breeding for mosquitoes in the Richmond area.
Features: Wooded lots, overgrown vegetation, and standing water (ponds, ditches, or temporary floodwaters).
Why It Matters: These areas provide ideal mosquito breeding sites and shelter from wind and predators. Species Impacted:
Aedes vexans (Inland Floodwater Mosquito): Utilizes temporary pools created by heavy rains or flooding.
Culex pipiens (Northern House Mosquito): Prefers stagnant water commonly found in ditches or containers.
Features: Shaded areas, high humidity, and nearby water bodies create prime mosquito habitats.
Why It Matters: Outdoor enthusiasts are often exposed to biting mosquitoes during dawn and dusk, peak feeding times for many species.
Features: Shrubs, bushes, and gardens that retain moisture, as well as ornamental ponds, birdbaths, and gutters that collect water.
Why It Matters: Residential yards often provide sheltered breeding sites close to human hosts, increasing the risk of mosquito-human contact.
Species Impacted:Aedes japonicus (Asian Bush Mosquito): Breeds in small, water-filled containers like flower pots and birdbaths.
Culex pipiens: Commonly found in urban and suburban areas.Our unique approach to mosquito control delivers proven, effective results you can rely on. With treatments designed for rapid impact, you’ll notice a significant reduction in mosquito activity shortly after the first application. Our method ensures your outdoor spaces become more enjoyable quickly.
Any mosquitoes living around active areas of the home will be killed on contact with our proprietary formula. We train our technicians to target these areas so we can maximize the effectiveness of the spray.
Female mosquitoes are attracted to the scents we emit. Our proprietary formula is specially created to mask them. Once our treatment has been applied, mosquitoes will avoid your property.
As treatments are performed, a vertical barrier is established which strengthens with each mosquito control service visit. This will shield your yard from pesky mosquitoes.
Identification: Black and white striped body with distinctive white stripes on its legs and a single white stripe down the center of its back. Small to medium-sized (about 1/4 inch).
Behavior: Aggressive daytime biter, especially in the morning and late afternoon. Can transmit diseases such as Zika virus, dengue, and chikungunya.
Habitat: Breeds in small water containers like birdbaths, flower pots, and clogged gutters. Prefers urban and suburban areas.
Identification: Light brown with pale bands on the abdomen and slightly darker wings. Medium-sized (about 1/4 inch).
Behavior: Most active at dawn and dusk. Known to transmit West Nile virus and other diseases. Bites humans and birds.
Habitat: Lays eggs in stagnant water, such as storm drains, rain barrels, and ditches. Often found in urban and suburban environments.
Identification: Medium-sized, light brown with white bands on the legs and abdomen. Long proboscis and wings covered in tiny scales.
Behavior: Aggressive biter, active during the day and night. Known for long-distance travel in search of hosts. Can transmit Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE).
Habitat: Common in salt marshes, coastal wetlands, and brackish water pools. Sometimes found inland after heavy rains.
Key Activity: The mosquito season begins when temperatures consistently rise above 50°F in area. Breeding: Early spring rainfall creates standing water, providing ideal conditions for mosquito eggs laid the previous year to hatch.
Common Species Active:
Aedes triseriatus (Eastern Tree Hole Mosquito): Found in water-filled tree holes and small containers.
Aedes vexans (Inland Floodwater Mosquito): Emerges in flooded areas caused by spring snowmelt or heavy rains.
Behavior: Mosquito activity is moderate in spring as populations are just beginning to build.
Key Activity: Summer is the peak mosquito season in Milwaukee Suburbs, North Shore Region, Waukesha, Washington and Ozaukee counties.
Breeding: Warm temperatures (above 70°F) and frequent summer rains contribute to explosive mosquito breeding, especially in areas with stagnant water such as ponds, ditches, and containers.
Common Species Active:
Culex pipiens (Northern House Mosquito): Thrives in stagnant water, often found in urban and suburban areas.
Aedes japonicus (Asian Bush Mosquito): Adapts well to artificial water containers and rock pools.
Behavior: Mosquitoes are most active during early morning and evening hours when temperatures are cooler, though some species, like Aedes mosquitoes, are active during the day. Aggressive biting behavior increases during this time, with mosquitoes targeting humans and animals.
Key Activity: Mosquito activity slows down as temperatures cool, typically below 50°F.
Breeding: Fewer eggs are laid during fall, but species like Aedes triseriatus prepare for the next season by laying eggs that can survive winter in dry conditions.
Common Species Active:
Aedes vexans: Remains active in flood-prone areas if temperatures stay mild.
Culex pipiens: Continues to breed in stagnant water but starts to go dormant as temperatures drop.
Behavior: Mosquitoes are less aggressive and less active, but they may still bite on warm days or during mild fall evenings.
Key Activity: Mosquitoes are dormant during the winter months in South Eastern Wisconsin due to freezing temperatures.
Eggs: Certain species, such as Aedes, lay hardy eggs in dry areas that survive the cold and hatch the following spring.
Adults: Culex mosquitoes can overwinter as adults in sheltered areas like basements, tree holes, or cracks in buildings.
