Physical Description: Mosquitos have long thin legs and a pair of long wings. Their bodies and wings are covered in small scales and they possess specialized mouthparts used for piercing skin and sucking blood.
Mosquitos can pose a serious health risk to humans as they carry a number of potential deadly diseases. Diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and West Nile Virus can all be transmitted through mosquito bites. At least two million people die each year from diseases carried by mosquitos, with a majority of death occuring in Africa, Central and South America. Itching, redness and swelling are all symptoms of a mosquito bite due to the body reacting to the mosquito's saliva.
Mosquito infestations are most visible over their breeding areas. Areas of stagnant water are prime breeding grounds, which is why proper drainage is very important. Clogged gutters can cause a build up of water, while garbage bins left out will collect rain water. These are common breeding grounds for mosquitos The buzzing of the female mosquito is also an indication that their may be an infestation.

Window screens and mosquito net are ways of preventing mosquitos from entering home and certain outdoor areas. A trained professional can also offer a series oftraps and repellants to help reduce your mosquito population.
