Easy with Salt Lake Pest Control
Mosquitoes are not just a mere annoyance in Salt Lake City; they pose a significant health risk. Underestimating their impact can lead to serious consequences. Here’s why professional mosquito control is essential:
- Spread Disease
Mosquitoes can be more than a nuisance-they can spread devastating diseases. These blood-feeding insects can transmit malaria, West Nile virus, Zika virus, and many other deadly illnesses.
- Cause Allergic Reactions
Mosquitoes can cause allergic reactions in some people, with symptoms ranging from mild annoyance to more dangerous anaphylactic shock. These reactions result from the allergens mosquitoes inject into the skin when biting humans and animals, spurring an inappropriate immune system response
Our Three-Step Mosquito Extermination Process
Mosquito Inspection
Mosquito service starts by reviewing the outdoor areas where activity has been noticed and the accessible conditions that may support breeding or resting activity.
During the inspection, we may:
- Review standing water and moisture conditions.
- Inspect vegetation, shade, drainage, containers, and other relevant outdoor areas.
- Discuss when and where mosquito activity is most noticeable.
We use those findings to explain the proposed treatment scope and practical recommendations for reducing breeding conditions and monitoring activity.
Mosquito Treatment
Inspection looks for adult activity, standing water, dense vegetation, shade, drainage, and other conditions that can support mosquito pressure. The proposed treatment is then focused on accessible areas identified during that review.
- Perimeter review: Note activity around the property boundary and outdoor use areas.
- Focused application: Treat relevant resting or activity zones included in the agreed scope.
- Prevention guidance: Explain practical water-management and monitoring steps for the property.
Prevention and Maintenance
Mosquito pressure changes with weather, standing water, vegetation, shade, and nearby breeding conditions. After treatment, we identify practical water-management and monitoring steps for the property.
- Remove or refresh water in containers where practical.
- Review drainage, irrigation, gutters, and shaded resting areas.
- Adjust future treatment recommendations to observed activity and seasonal conditions.

Are Mosquitoes Old Bloodsuckers?
Mosquitoes are one of the oldest types of insects in the world.
Researchers believe they are older than dinosaurs. According to research, the oldest mosquito fossils dated back about 79 million years and existed for 226 million years. They have earned their reputation as bloodsuckers, but they feed on plant nectar more than anything else.
How much blood do mosquitoes drink?
A mosquito can drink up to three times its body weight in blood, depending on the species. After a blood meal, a female mosquito will look for a nice place to lay eggs, and it takes three to 5 days for blood to be digested and eggs to develop
Do all mosquitoes bite?
While both male and female mosquitoes feed on plant nectar, only female mosquitoes bite humans and animals to get the protein they need to produce eggs. When a female mosquito bites you, she inserts her long, sharp mouthpart (called a proboscis) into your skin and withdraws the blood. This is why it’s important to protect yourself from mosquitoes
How can mosquito activity be reduced?
Professional mosquito control begins with a review of current activity and breeding or resting conditions. Salt Lake Pest Control can inspect the property, explain the proposed treatment zones, and recommend monitoring and prevention steps.
