Mosquitoes

What mosquitoes are and where they come from

Mosquitoes — is a insect, regularly encountered by residents of apartments and private houses across Moldova. Breed in standing water, attack the yard and home in the warm season.

Most often mosquitoes enter the home in one of several ways: from neighbours through cracks, ventilation and shared utilities, from the street and basements, with food, furniture or belongings. Once established, the colony grows quickly, so it is best to react at the first signs.

How to spot it in time

Early detection saves both money and nerves — treating a light infestation is always cheaper and simpler than fighting an established population. Watch for the characteristic signs:

• Itchy bites
• buzzing at night
• clusters near water
• larvae in water containers.

Why they are dangerous

Carry dangerous infections, cause sleep loss and allergies.

That is why mosquitoes are not merely a household nuisance. The longer treatment is postponed, the higher the risks to health and property — and the more expensive the final solution becomes.

What works against mosquitoes and what doesn't

Store-bought aerosols, traps and "folk" remedies can reduce the visible numbers, but almost never destroy the source — nests, eggs and entry routes remain. The infestation returns within a few weeks.

Professional disinsection acts on every development stage of mosquitoes: cold or hot fog penetrates cracks and hard-to-reach places, barrier and gel treatment finish off the rest. Products are selected for the specific pest and type of premises.

Seasonality and prevention

Pest activity: may to september. This should be considered when planning treatment — at peak season the infestation grows faster.

To keep mosquitoes from returning after treatment, control access to water and food, seal cracks and crevices, keep the kitchen and bathroom clean, and check items and food brought into the home. A good service always gives prevention advice tailored to your specific case.

When it is time to call specialists

If you see mosquitoes regularly, if your own remedies show no result for more than two or three weeks, if the infestation affects several rooms, or there is a risk to children, the elderly and pets — that is the signal to move to professional treatment (yard treatment).
