Hogarth's Pest Control specializes in all types of industries, residential and commercial.
According to the CDC, mosquitoes kill more people per year around the world than any other living creature. In Michigan we have roughly 60 different species of mosquito; some of which are vectors for diseases such as West Nile virus, St. Louis Encephalitis, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. There is no way to eliminate all of the mosquitoes on one’s property, but they can be controlled.
One of these tools is to larvicide any standing water around a home that cannot be emptied out. This areas may include ponds, catch basins, ditches, or wheelbarrows of standing water, etc. Another tool is to chemically treat the barrier of the property or area in which control is wanted.
Tips on Mosquitoes:
- If you’re not a prime candidate for a barrier mosquito treatment, consider purchasing a fan for the deck, patio or lawn.
- A few common species of mosquitoes: Aedes Egypti, Anopheles, Culex

If you’re not a prime candidate for a barrier treatment, consider purchasing a fan for the deck, patio or lawn! Mosquitoes are not strong fliers, so a fan swathing back and forth will keep them out of the area you’re trying to enjoy. This will make your BBQ or family gathering much more enjoyable while also being eco-friendly. Maintaining awareness of the dangers that surround mosquitoes is by far the best method of protecting yourself from a potentially dangerous illness.
