Killing Mosquitoes

Like many insects, mosquitoes rapidly and in large amounts. In order for mosquitos to reproduce they need standing water to lay their eggs. If there is heavy rainfall in your area make sure to clean out gutters, dump out pots, and drain anything that could hold standing water to reduce the mosquito population near your home. Another way to control the population is to call a pest company, use repellents, citronella candles, or wear protective clothing to deter mosquitos. Keeping down mosquito population not only protects you from itchy bites, it also makes your home less appealing to other animals such as bats. Bats can eat over 1,000 mosquitos every hour and are a main food source for them as well as other insects. All animals move to where they can find food, so if you are able to lower mosquitos in your area, you may be less likely to attract bats. This is not the only precaution to take and is not guaranteed to deter all bats. If you find a bat inside your house, call Guardian Wildlife Services. We can remove them for you and prevent them from re-entering.
