Photo Album: Mosquito treatment and control in Edison

Often, homeowners mistakenly assume that biting mosquitoes buzzing around on their property have trespassed into their backyard from some other breeding location off their property. That may well not be the case. Mosquitoes do not fly great distances. If you have an ongoing, consistent mosquito problem in your yard, there is a good chance that these mosquitoes are local and were born and bred right on your premises. Those females are laying eggs somewhere on your property. Where? Female mosquitoes must lay their eggs in stagnant pools of water. And it does not take much. For some species, a bottle cap holds enough water to lay mosquito eggs. Also, mosquito populations escalate quickly. They can go from egg to adult in about a week.
