Lansing, MI, Mosquito Control

Sunsets in Lansing are gorgeous, especially along the Grand River on our town's beautiful River Trail. Unfortunately, because Lansing juts up so close against a large body of water, our city is particularly vulnerable to mosquitoes, and sunset is the part of the day mosquitoes love best. As dusk sets in, anyone outdoors will suffer from swarms of these irritating insects whose bites leave behind red, itchy bumps. Avoid this issue with help from Mosquito Squad.

Why Do I Need Mosquito Control?

In addition to the itchy bites, mosquitoes are also carriers of several diseases, even here in the United States.

• In the United States, West Nile Virus is the most prevalent mosquito-borne disease. While most infected individuals do not experience any symptoms, some may develop flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. In rare instances, the virus can result in serious neurological issues, including encephalitis and meningitis.

• Eastern Equine Encephalitis is a mosquito-borne disease that is far less common but much more severe than other mosquito-borne illnesses. It can lead to inflammation of the brain, causing symptoms like high fever, headache, neck stiffness, muscle weakness, and disorientation. In severe cases, it can even be deadly.

• Although Zika virus infections are not as prevalent as they once were, it remains crucial to stay informed about the risks. Zika infection can manifest with mild symptoms such as fever, skin rashes, headaches, and joint pain. However, the most concerning aspect of Zika is its potential to harm pregnant women and cause birth defects in unborn children.

• Pets can be affected too! Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted to dogs (and, much more rarely, cats) through the bite of an infected mosquito. The adult worms live in the heart and pulmonary arteries, causing damage to the heart and lungs. Symptoms of heartworm disease include coughing, difficulty breathing, and weight loss.

There are other, less prevalent diseases that have been identified in the United States, and more that are transmitted across the globe. (International travelers should take note and prepare accordingly.) Even mild diseases aren't much fun to deal with. Mosquito control is crucial to help prevent these illnesses from affecting you and your loved ones. Mosquito Squad is here to give you what you need.

Mosquito Control in Lansing, MI

During the humid, warm months of late spring through early fall, mosquitoes are at their most annoying and ubiquitous. Standing water from rain showers or melting snow creates the ideal breeding ground for mosquito larvae - even the amount in a stray bottle cap can be enough to for a mosquito to raise its offspring. At Mosquito Squad, we offer several options to prevent your home from becoming a mosquito-infested nightmare.

• Our signature barrier treatment targets mosquitoes' hiding and breeding spots. It reduces mosquito populations and lasts for up to 21 days, reducing the mosquito population by 85-90%.
• If you're more comfortable with a gentler solution, try our natural mosquito control treatment. It is brewed from a combination of essential oils, which smell great even as it effectively helps to control mosquitoes in your backyard.

Both of the above treatments can be administered as part of our subscription plan program. When you subscribe to regular treatments, a technician will automatically come out to your property every 21 days to re-apply the treatment. If, however, you're looking for something short-term for an outdoor gathering, our special event sprays are a great option. Our technicians will visit your location a week before and again a day before the event to provide mosquito control services. Whether it's a wedding, graduation, or backyard barbecue, our sprays help maintain a comfortable and fun atmosphere for everyone.
