Mosquitos do more than leave behind irritating bites; they also cause severe diseases, such as West Nile Virus and Malaria. Since both of these can be life-threatening, getting mosquito treatment when you need it is no joke.

As Murrayville, GA’s premier pest exterminator, the team at Coppermines Pest Control is no stranger to these irritating creatures. Here’s their helpful guide to keeping illness at bay this summer:

Symptoms

The frightening part about viruses like West Nile is, often, symptoms are never visible. While a small number of sufferers will experience headaches, body pain, rashes, and vomiting, most of them will attribute these signs to common, less dangerous diseases—like the flu. If you’ve been experiencing mosquito control issues and have gotten bitten numerous times, however, there’s a chance it could be more severe. Head to a doctor and seek treatment as soon as possible.

Mosquito Treatment

If you discover that you have a disease caused by mosquitos, there’s no specific vaccine designated to treat your symptoms. While over-the-counter medications can help reduce the pain, if you’re still suffering, head to the hospital.

Follow the instructions of all medical personnel carefully. A vital aspect of mosquito treatment is taking it slow, taking the required medications, and keeping up-to-date with doctor’s appointments. It’s much better to be safe than sorry, so don’t risk your health. 

Treatment for Your Yard

Mosquitos actively seek out stagnant water, as well as low-growing trees and hedges. If these are prevalent in your landscape, pests will accompany them. Monthly mosquito service professionals seek out these spots, treating each sighting to kill off pests and prevent bites from ever occurring. While mosquitos might hide out during the day, with monthly service, they can be successfully removed.

To prevent illness, mosquito treatment is key. If these creatures won’t seem to go away, mosquito control can prevent a disease before it has the chance to pop up.
