Mosquito Control in Crystal Lake

Posted by Mosquito Squad

September 5, 2024

The nature of mosquitoes makes them more active at both dawn and dusk. If you’ve ever tried to enjoy the cooler temperatures of these hours, then you know just how irritating they can be. Thank goodness you can call on Mosquito Squad to get help and finally experience some much-needed relief!

Why do I need mosquito control services in Crystal Lake?

When mosquitoes bite, they leave behind saliva that can cause itchy and uncomfortable allergic reactions. Moreover, this saliva can also contain the pathogens that result in the mosquito-borne diseases listed below:

  • For Americans, including residents of Crystal Lake, it’s important to look out for West Nile Virus, the country’s most common mosquito-borne disease. The majority of people who are infected with West Nile either are asymptomatic or experience very mild flu-like symptoms like fever, headache, and fatigue. However, some people may experience serious and potentially fatal neurological complications.
  • Less common than West Nile but substantially more serious, Eastern Equine Encephalitis causes dangerous brain inflammation that can be fatal.
  • Many people remember when the Zika virus made news when several cases were identified in the continental United States. Though it is now much less prevalent, it’s still important to be aware of its risks, especially for those who are expecting due to the potential for severe birth defects.
  • Mosquitoes plague pets as much as they do humans. This is no more true than in the case of heartworm, which infects thousands of dogs each year. The later stages of this disease can cause difficulty breathing and heart problems. Treatment is available, but the logistics can be difficult, especially for active pets.

The best way to avoid infection is to avoid getting bitten in the first place - and the best way to do that is to treat your home with Mosquito Squad’s professional mosquito control treatments.
