Boston Area MOSQUITO CONTROL
Summer comes each year with the promise of warm weather, sunshine, fun, and as always, mosquitoes. These pests can take over your yard and multiply quickly. They lay 100 eggs at a time, oftentimes in standing water. When biting, mosquitoes can drink up to 3 times their body weight in blood. Their primary food source is glucose, which is found in high levels in our blood. Not only do these bites hurt, they can be quite harmful. Because they carry diseases, mosquitoes are considered the world’s deadliest animals. Through Malaria, Zika and West Nile Virus, mosquitoes are responsible for nearly 1 million deaths per year. Fox Pest Control knows how to control your Boston Area mosquito problem and reduce them quickly.
You might already know for sure that you have a mosquito problem. But here are a couple of the most common signs of a mosquito infestation in Boston Area.
Sightings
One of the signs of a mosquito infestation is to see them flying around.
Bites
Even before they’re seen, mosquitoes can bite and fly away before you know what happened. A bite is often itchy and may raise a small red bump on the skin.
Avoid wearing perfumes or colognes.
Wear long sleeves and pants when outdoors or near water.
Avoid early evening activities

Because No Bugs is Simply Better.
Of the more than 3,500 species, only a couple hundred will actually bite humans … and then it’s only the females. Despite that, there are plenty of female mosquitoes around on Boston Area, so don’t worry, you’ll need lots of help with mosquito control.
Mosquitoes love very shallow water or even damp soil for laying eggs. Try to keep your property free of standing water, mosquitoes can lay their eggs in a bottle cap of water.
Mosquitoes love cool, moist environments … and they hate the heat. The best to be outside while also avoiding mosquitoes is in the heat of the day. If you do see mosquitoes, they will most likely be in bushes or flower beds.(Or you could call Fox Pest Control on Boston Area to help you reduce the mosquito population around your home.)
When a female mosquito bites you, it injects an anticoagulant within its saliva that, while helping the blood flow, also creates an allergic response in most humans.
Yes they can be. Even on Boston Area mosquitoes can carry and transmit several diseases, including:
West Nile virus– an infectious disease whose symptoms include fever, skin rash, body aches, and swollen lymph glands.
Zika virus– an RNA virus that causes a rash, itching all over, muscle pain, red eyes, joint pain, fever, and a headache.
Malaria- a disease caused by a parasite that invades red blood cells and brings on fever, chills, sweating, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and sometimes jaundice.
Mosquitoes are primarily a prey insect, serving as a food source for many bats and birds. In addition, mosquitoes are pollinators. While they don’t pollinate on the same level as bees, they feed on flower nectar to get glucose, and transfer this from flower to flower.
Xavier did a great job. Very kind and knowledgeable.

Dalton was professional, on time, and answered all of our questions. We showed him areas of concern and past problems on the property, which he inspected and treated. He also noticed things that we didn’t and left bait stations. So far we are happy with the service and are paying much less than we were quoted from another pest control company.

The technician, Xavier, was very professional. Had my first experience with this company today. Getting much better value than our previous service. The sales person, Taylor, was excellent and the service technician completed a very thorough inspection and application process. It was quick, easy, and less expensive than our last provider. Highly satisfied with this service.
