Mosquito Control in Burlington, WI

Mosquito season lasts throughout the warmest, hottest months of the year in Wisconsin. During that time, according to a study completed in 2021, a single person may be bitten by mosquitoes up to 52 times each night. Given the location of Burlington, with Browns Lake so close by, those numbers might be even higher. In response, we at Mosquito Squad have spent years perfecting a treatment that can make a real difference in the number of mosquitoes in your backyard.

Why Do I Need Mosquito Control?

Not only is there a possibility of having to deal with 50 or more red, itchy, uncomfortable bites each night, but mosquitoes are also carriers of disease. Throughout the world, around 700 million people are diagnosed with mosquito-borne illnesses every year, and a percentage of these diseases are found in Americans. In Burlington, the diseases you’re most likely to encounter are West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Zika Virus, and heartworm disease.

West Nile Virus

In the United States, West Nile Virus is known as the most prevalent mosquito-borne illness. Although numerous infected individuals might not exhibit any symptoms, others suffer flu-like symptoms, including fever, headaches, muscle aches, and fatigue. Occasionally, though rarely, the virus can progress into grave neurological conditions.

Eastern Equine Encephalitis

While less prevalent than West Nile, Eastern Equine Encephalitis is significantly more serious. An infection can lead to high fever, headaches, neck stiffness, muscle weakness, and disorientation. It also causes inflammation of the brain. In severe cases, this condition can be fatal.

Zika Virus

While the number of confirmed Zika virus cases has decreased in the United States in recent years, vigilance is still important. Zika often manifests with mild symptoms such as fever, rashes, headaches, and joint pain. However, it poses a significant concern for pregnant women as it can lead to severe birth defects in unborn children.

Heartworm Disease

Pets are equally susceptible to mosquito-transmitted diseases. Dogs are particularly vulnerable to heartworm disease, which affects thousands each year. Infected mosquitoes carry this severe condition, which poses risks to the heart and lungs. Symptoms include coughing, difficulty breathing, and weight loss. Treating heartworm disease can be expensive, and if left untreated, it can be fatal.

Mosquito Control in Burlington

During the warm and humid months from late spring to early fall, mosquitoes become increasingly common. Stagnant water from summer showers and melting spring snow provides ideal breeding grounds for mosquito larvae. However, Mosquito Squad is well-equipped to assist you and your loved ones find relief from the problems mosquitoes bring to your home.
