Why Do I Need Mosquito Control?

Mosquitoes are not just a nuisance; they can transmit serious diseases. Although the risk of contracting these illnesses in Grand Rapids is relatively low, it's crucial to be aware of the potential dangers. 

• West Nile Virus: The most common mosquito-borne disease in the U.S. While many infected people show no symptoms, it can cause flu-like illness, fever, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. In severe cases, it can lead to neurological issues like encephalitis or meningitis.
• Zika Virus: Though less common than it once was, Zika can cause mild fever, rash, headache, and joint pain. It poses significant risks to pregnant women, potentially leading to birth defects.
• Heartworm: A serious condition transmitted by mosquito bites, primarily affecting dogs and occasionally cats. It can cause severe lung disease, heart failure, and organ damage.

These are just a few of the mosquito-borne diseases that are known to have been transmitted within the United States. By taking steps to control mosquito populations around your home, you can significantly reduce your risk of exposure to these diseases.

Mosquito Control in Grand Rapids, MI

From late spring to early fall, mosquitoes are just about inescapable throughout Grand Rapids. They thrive in humid weather and use any source of standing water they can find to raise their offspring. There are a few things you can do at home to help keep mosquitoes under control:

• Remove any sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, such as birdbaths, gutters, and plant saucers.
• Keep grass cut short and trim shrubs and bushes regularly to reduce mosquito habitats.
• Ensure windows and doors have intact screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
• Create airflow with fans on patios and decks to deter mosquitoes from lingering.

Of course, while these are helpful, there's no better form of mosquito control than the services provided by Mosquito Squad. Our signature protective barrier spray can reduce mosquitoes by up to 85-90% for up to 21 days of application.
