Mosquito Or Not? How To Identify Them At A Glance
What separates flies that look like mosquitoes from the real thing? If you’re looking purely at physical traits, mosquitoes have much thinner bodies than flies and longer legs. Likewise, a female mosquito has a lengthy proboscis, which it uses to feed on blood.
But if you’re not up close and personal, you can see where they differ in their behaviors. Flies won’t feed on blood, for example. Even flies that break skin when they attack don’t take a blood meal; that’s mosquito territory.
Let our experts lend a hand if you’re dealing with a buzzing infestation but can’t quite identify it. Our inspections will positively identify your infestation and fully uncover its scale. Call us today to get a free estimate.
Mosquito Dangers: Understanding The Risks Of An Infestation
The problems mosquitoes cause extend well beyond skin irritation and itchy bites. Those things are annoying, but mosquitoes are also prolific disease spreaders. In fact, mosquito-borne illness causes 725,000 deaths a year.
Mosquitoes are traveling farther around the planet than ever before, and they bring serious illnesses with them. A list of diseases caused by mosquitoes includes malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and yellow fever, to name a few. Even when these diseases aren’t fatal, they are debilitating and can have long-term effects.
