Nashville, TN (PRWEB) January 07, 2015

Mosquitoes are more than just an annoying pest that can ruin an outdoor gathering or event with their itchy bites. They are a dangerous pest because they are responsible for transmitting a variety of diseases, including the West Nile virus.

In fact, according to the CDC, as of December 2nd 2014, 2,002 cases of the West Nile virus have been reported. Click here for more details. With the rising number of West Nile virus cases, many homeowners are actually stopping their more traditional pest control plans and instead opting for home pest control services that include mosquito mitigation services. Because of the numbers of cases of West Nile that are found throughout the U.S., this is a trend we at All-American support and encourage.

In order to prevent mosquitoes effectively, it is important to understand a bit about their traits and behavior. Both male and female mosquitoes feed on the nectar of flowering plants, but the females also feed on the blood of mammals. Female mosquitoes require the extra protein and iron that is found in blood to create their eggs. Females can detect the carbon dioxide that mammals give off as they breathe and she can sense the heat from a preys body. She can use her vision to locate her victims. Once the mosquito hones in on a target, she uses her straw-like mouthpart (proboscis) to pierce the skin of her victim, inject a small amount of anticoagulant enzyme-laced saliva, and then extract the blood from the victim.

Mosquitoes do not screen their blood sources, so their prey could be infected with a variety of viruses, parasites, and other organisms. If the mosquito ingests infected blood, the virus or disease can replicate in their body, and then can be transferred into their next victim. Diseases that mosquitoes are known to transmit to people other than the West Nile virus include: malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, they can also infect pets with canine heart worm.

Because of the ease with which they can transmit disease, it would be nice if mosquitoes could be completely eliminated from properties. Unfortunately, this is not possible since they live and breed outside and can travel for miles to look for food sources. Luckily, there are some things that Nashville homeowners can do around their home to help reduce the mosquito numbers, and make spending time outside more enjoyable. Mosquito prevention tips include:

-Getting rid of breeding areas. Females require water to lay their eggs, so reducing or eliminating areas of standing water will greatly limit mosquito populations on properties. Clogged gutters, low lying areas of ground, tires, soda bottles, and wheelbarrows are all examples of places where the female can utilize a bit of water to lay her eggs on.

-Limiting mosquitos food source. Limit the number of flowering plants on properties, especially areas that are located near the home.

-Make sure that grass is kept trimmed short and that overgrown vegetation is cut back. Mosquitoes like to hide in those areas during the day.

-Prevent mosquitoes from entering into your home by making sure that doors and windows are kept closed and that screens are fully intact.

EXTERMINATORS were called to deal with rats in one Stoke-on-Trent street nearly 30 times in just 18 months.

Thorndyke Street in Shelton has been revealed as the biggest rat hot spot in the Potteries, according to figures released by Stoke-on-Trent City Council.

The authority was called to deal with 2,965 problems across the city with most streets needing one or two visits.

However, 27 pest control requests relating to rats in the Shelton street were received between May 2013 and October 2014.

Gail Oliver, aged 44, of Thorndyke Street, said: It really is pretty bad around here, Ive seen quite a few running around and even some dead ones.

The figures come as pest controllers warn residents to be on their guard against rodents.

Rob Simpson, managing director of pest control experts Basis Prompt, says the animals will root for food in bins.

He said: The period around Christmas and New Year provides rats with the perfect opportunity to appear, particularly as it was party time with fewer bin collections.

Pest control officers believe a collapsed drain could be to blame for turning the street into the biggest rat hotspot in the city.
