It's hard to find anyone who likes mosquitoes. These annoying bugs are known for buzzing around during hot summer months and wreaking havoc on one's skin. If you have these annoying pests on your property, here are reasons why you should invest in mosquito control.

1. Health Hazards

Your home is your sanctuary, so you want to make it as comfortable, safe, and healthy as possible. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 200 types of mosquitoes live in the continental United States and subsequent territories; of these 200, about 12 types will spread germs that can make people sick. Prevent you, your family, and visitors from getting sick by having professional mosquito control handy.

2. Avoidable Nuisance

While there are many insects in the world, mosquitoes are a particular nuisance. Mosquitoes don't just fly in the air; they tend to circle people since they're hungry. They can leave several visible welts on the skin as they suck blood away. If you're not careful, your exposed skin can easily be filled with several bumps left by mosquitoes during the summer months. When you live someplace that's warm year-round, that's plenty of time to get even more attacks by mosquitoes unless you have some prevention.

3. Property Value

Your home may be your greatest and most expensive asset, so do what you can to protect its value. One way to help decrease your property value is with a pest infestation. When people think of pest infestations that can decrease home value, they may automatically think of rodents, cockroaches, and termites. However, if you're trying to sell your home and there are hundreds of mosquitoes flying around, it's sure to turn off a potential buyer or appraiser.

4. Fast Breeding

Make sure you don't have any exposed pools of sitting water around your home. Sitting water is a major health hazard because of how it can attract mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can lay up to 100 eggs at a time, as stated by the CDC. If you have drainage issues on your property, you could quickly have a major mosquito infestation.

As you can see, investing in local mosquito control is worth the money. Mosquitoes are a major nuisance to any person or pet.
