Mosquito Control for Southwest Michigan

Weekends at the beach, long walks along the shores of Lake Michigan, and simple evenings spent catching fireflies - these are some of the best parts of living here in Southwest Michigan. However, all of those activities have one thing in common: the irritating and persistent presence of mosquitoes. 

Mosquito-Borne Illnesses in SW MI

Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance; they can also be carriers of serious diseases. In Southwest Michigan, common mosquito-borne illnesses include West Nile virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), and Zika virus. Each of these diseases carries its own risks, from high fevers and fatigue to neurological damage and even death. Plus, these are just a few of the potential diseases that are spread by mosquitoes throughout the United States. While most of these diseases are rare, understanding the risks is an important part of good mosquito control hygiene.

Peak Mosquito Season in Michigan

The peak mosquito season in Southwest Michigan typically spans from late spring through early fall, with mosquitoes at their busiest during the peak of July and August. Warm temperatures and humid conditions provide the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Standing water, whether from melting snow in spring or summer rain showers, creates ideal conditions for mosquito larvae to thrive. Female mosquitoes caring for their young are the culprits responsible for the itchy mosquito bites you'll experience throughout the mosquito season.
