Aedes mosquitoes are a frequent problem in Otay Ranch. These mosquitoes are aggressive and often feed on humans. They can transmit diseases like dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs in spots that will fill with water, and their eggs can withstand dry conditions and hatch after some time.
Two common species in this area are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes aegypti, or the yellow fever mosquito, thrives in urban settings and breeds in small water containers. Aedes albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito, has a black body with distinct white stripes. Both species are most active during daylight hours, particularly around dawn and dusk.
Otay Ranch Pest Control prioritizes controlling Anopheles mosquitoes, which lay their eggs on water surfaces, often where thick vegetation or algae is present. The eggs, shaped like boats, are equipped with lateral floats. Anopheles larvae differ from other mosquitoes by resting parallel to the water without a siphon. Adults rest in a straight-line posture. These mosquitoes are the sole transmitters of malaria, posing a major health risk.
In Otay Ranch, five species of Anopheles mosquitoes are prevalent, particularly in vegetated pools, algal zones, and agricultural settings. Biting at dawn, dusk, and after dark, their population requires control to prevent malaria transmission and protect the local community.
In Otay Ranch, Culiseta mosquitoes are a common issue. These mosquitoes lay eggs on the surface of water, forming rafts. The larvae hang at a downward angle beneath the waterline. Adult mosquitoes have bluntly rounded abdomens, and while some species are aggressive biters, others are not.
Though less aggressive, Culiseta mosquitoes can still be a problem. Our Otay Ranch mosquito control treatments help manage these pests, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable environment for your family.
Culex mosquitoes are frequently encountered in Otay Ranch and are known carriers of diseases such as West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, and Western equine encephalitis. These mosquitoes are most active during the early morning, evening, and night. They lay their eggs on stagnant water surfaces, creating raft-like clusters. You’ll often find them near ponds, standing water, or lush vegetation.
These mosquitoes are light brown, with a pale band around their proboscis, and are known to bite primarily at night. Effective control measures include removing standing water and applying treatments to manage their population.
Our mosquito treatment service begins with an inspection of your yard to find breeding areas, such as standing water and overgrown vegetation. For better results, please clean up your yard and remove any standing water before our team arrives.
The process typically takes about 30 minutes, though this depends on your yard size. We use fogging and the In2Care system, both safe for children and pets. The In2Care system continues to work after treatment, preventing mosquito breeding.
Our mosquito control service offers continuous protection, ensuring your yard stays mosquito-free. Each monthly treatment takes about 30 minutes, depending on yard size. We recommend removing standing water before we arrive. Our treatments are kid- and pet-safe, so you can relax and enjoy your outdoor space.
The In2Care system targets mosquito breeding areas for long-term control. Monthly fogging builds a protective barrier that prevents mosquitoes from surrounding properties from entering your yard.
