THE WORLDS #1 DEADLIEST ANIMAL!
Few animals on earth evoke the antipathy that mosquitos do. Their itchy, irritating bites and pervasive presence have ruined many a backyard barbeque or outdoor gathering. They have an uncanny ability to sense our intentions, taking flight and disappearing milliseconds before we can swat them. An in our bedrooms, the persistent, whiny hum of their buzzing wings can wake the soundest of sleepers.
Delta Pest Control & Lawn Service urges our local El Paso residents to take extra precaution against mosquitos. The Zika virus is spread to by bites of infected mosquitos. While this disease was first documented in Central Africa, it has made its way to the U.S. Typically, only one in five of those infected with the Zika virus will become ill. Symptoms range from more minor issues like joint pane and rashes, but severe cases can lead to death. While your exposure is not that likely, Delta Pest Control & Lawn Service would rather you be safe than sorry.

Know the Facts About Mosquitos

This Mosquito has a lifeline span of about 3 weeks. They lay their eggs in water containing organic material such as decaying leaves. They are active during the day and are most active 2 hours after sunrise, as well as several hours before sunset. On occasion they are active at night in well-lit areas.

This mosquito is a very resilient mosquito and its eggs are able to survive through the winter, making it difficult to control. It has a life span of 3 weeks and lays her eggs on the inner sides of any water-holding surface. They are active during the day and are most active in the early morning and late afternoon. This mosquito is an aggressive hunter with a rapid bite and will bite any exposed skin surface.
