Mosquitoes Pest Control In Bloomington and Columbus, IN

The Culprits

Residents of southern Indiana are all too familiar with Mosquitos These tiny flying insects are known for their diet of blood, and the itchy bumps they leave behind on their hosts. They first start to emerge during the spring months and continue through the fall. Their favorite time to dine is during dawn and dusk hours when repellent can be particularly beneficial.

The Danger

There are 61 identified species of mosquitoes in Indiana, and while many of them are nothing more than a nuisance, others can pose serious risks to your health. What most people don't realize is that mosquitoes are considered one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet because of the diseases that they carry and transmit. Some of the potentially fatal diseases linked to mosquitoes include:

  • West Nile Virus
  • Eastern Equine Encephalitis
  • St. Louis Encephalitis
  • La Crosse Virus
  • Malaria
  • Yellow Fever
  • Canine Heartworm
  • Zika Virus

Recently, one of the major concerns about mosquitoes is the transmission of the Zika virus to humans. Initially, Zika often causes mild cold or flu-like symptoms but can become more serious down the road, especially to pregnant women.


The best way to avoid being exposed to mosquitos and the diseases they carry is to cover your skin during peak mosquito hours, use mosquito nets, and pest control mosquito spray.
