Mosquito control in East Cobb can be incredibly challenging because our warm, humid climate provides the perfect conditions for them to thrive. Many over-the-counter products marketed for DIY mosquito control are ineffective or only work for a short time. If you dread spending another summer fighting mosquitoes in the yard, there is a better solution.
This article will review more about mosquitoes and some of the dangers they bring with them. We'll also explain how the most effective form of mosquito control comes from working with professionals and include some tips from the pros at Tuxedo Mosquito Control to help prevent mosquitoes from returning.
What Exactly Are Mosquitoes?
Most people know a mosquito when they see one, or even more likely, hear one buzzing around their head. Female mosquitoes bite people and animals because they need blood to produce their eggs. After receiving their blood meal, they lay around 300 eggs in stagnant water, and the eggs become adults within two weeks.
This rapid breeding cycle helps to explain how mosquitoes can become such a problem in the backyard. A mosquito control company that can treat these pests' entire life cycle can help you better eliminate them. Contact us at Tuxedo Mosquito Control to learn more about our services, including how we treat standing water for mosquitoes.
Is Every Mosquito Dangerous?
Mosquitoes in East Cobb are disease vectors, which means they can pick up a disease when they bite a person or animal and then spread it to the next person or animal they bite. Not every mosquito that bites you will carry disease, but they all have the potential. This list includes the possible diseases spread by mosquitoes in our area:
- West Nile Virus
- Chikungunya
- Tularemia
- Encephalitis
- Dengue
These viruses are most active in Georgia from late spring through the fall. That makes spring the perfect time to start treating your yard for mosquitoes to help protect your family from mosquito-borne illnesses.

I would highly recommend Tuxedo Mosquito. Very professional organization. Installation was quick and service has been great. My wife, who seems to be a "mosquito magnet" spent the entire summer in our backyard without getting bit. Money well spent
