Aedes mosquitoes are common in Scripps Ranch. These aggressive biters often feed on humans and are capable of spreading diseases like dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs in places that are likely to collect water, and their eggs are resilient, able to survive dry conditions and hatch later.
Two notable species in this region are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, is common in urban environments and breeds in small water containers. The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is recognized by its black body with white stripes. Both species are most active during the day, especially at dawn and dusk.
At Scripps Ranch Pest Control, we focus on controlling Anopheles mosquitoes. These mosquitoes prefer to lay eggs on the water’s surface, especially in areas with thick vegetation or algae. The eggs are boat-shaped with lateral floats. Unlike other mosquito species, Anopheles larvae rest flat on the water without a siphon, while adults rest in a straight-line posture. Anopheles mosquitoes are the only known carriers of malaria.
Scripps Ranch is home to five species of Anopheles mosquitoes, which thrive in vegetated pools, algae-covered areas, and farmlands. These mosquitoes bite primarily at dawn, dusk, and nighttime, necessitating effective mosquito control to reduce their population and prevent malaria outbreaks.
Culiseta mosquitoes are frequently encountered in Scripps Ranch. These mosquitoes lay their eggs on the water’s surface, where they form egg rafts. The larvae hang downward at a slight angle just below the waterline. As adults, they are recognized by their rounded abdomens, with some species delivering painful bites.
Although these mosquitoes are generally less aggressive than other species, they can still cause discomfort and pose health risks. Our mosquito control treatments focus on reducing Culiseta populations in Scripps Ranch, helping create a more enjoyable and secure environment for you and your family.
In Scripps Ranch, Culex mosquitoes are common and pose a threat by spreading diseases such as West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, and Western equine encephalitis. They tend to be most active during dusk, dawn, and at night. Culex mosquitoes lay their eggs in raft-like clusters on standing water, often found in ponds and stagnant water areas.
These mosquitoes have light brown bodies with a pale band around their proboscis and are nighttime feeders. To control them, it’s essential to eliminate standing water and apply appropriate treatments.
We start our mosquito control treatment with a detailed inspection of your yard, searching for breeding areas like stagnant water and dense vegetation. Before we arrive, we recommend clearing your yard of any standing water for better results.
The treatment generally takes about 30 minutes, depending on the size of your yard. We use fogging and the In2Care system, both of which are safe for children and pets. The In2Care system continues working after treatment to stop mosquito breeding.
