Living in Florida<\/a>, we love our warm temperatures, beaches, lakes, and wetlands; unfortunately, so do mosquitoes<\/a>. When mosquito season starts, our lush, tropical paradise can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes who want nothing more than to bite every living creature in sight, including you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Mosquitoes are not only irritating when they bite, but can also spread diseases. You need expert mosquito control professionals. Most mosquito repellent sprays simply don\u2019t work. We have a better solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to Prepare for Mosquito Season?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mosquito larvae will generally begin to hatch around March or April in North Florida, but a particularly warm winter can bring them out earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Critter Control Gainesville<\/a>\u2019s Mosquito Trap is made of strong plastic and uses water with a specific odor that attracts mosquitoes. Once inside, mosquitoes contact the specially treated gauze near the water surface and get contaminated with a larvicide and a fungus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that mosquitos like to divide their eggs over many sites so we let them fly out of the Trap while carrying larvicide on their legs. They transport the larvicide, contaminating many breeding sites around the trap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, we can kill larvae in small, hard-to-find breeding sites. The mosquito also gets infected with an insect-specific fungus that kills her before she can spread diseases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
