Mosquito FAQ

Are mosquitoes dangerous?

Mosquitoes bite humans in order to consume their blood. This can cause very itchy, swollen, red bites that are typically nothing more than a nuisance. However, while mosquito bites are most often just irritating, they can also sometimes be quite harmful. Mosquitoes are known to carry and transmit diseases such as malaria, West Nile virus, dengue fever, yellow fever, Zika virus, and more.

That doesn’t mean that you should run to the doctor every time you are bitten by a mosquito. You should contact a medical professional if you experience headache, fever, aches, or rashes after receiving a mosquito bite.

What are mosquito misting systems? Do they really work?

Mosquito misting systems are devices that are designed to control mosquito populations by spraying a fine mist of insecticide into the air, which kills mosquitoes on contact. Having a mosquito misting system installed by McCauley Services can be very effective in reducing mosquito populations and minimizing the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses, such as West Nile virus and Zika virus. However, it's important to note that mosquito misting systems are not a complete solution to mosquito control. They should be used in conjunction with other mosquito control methods, such as removing standing water from the area, using mosquito repellent when outdoors, and keeping up with a general pest control program. 

Is it true that mosquitoes bite some people more than others?

Yes, it is true that mosquitoes bite some people more than others. There are several factors that contribute to this, including:

• Blood type: Some studies suggest that people with Type O blood are more attractive to mosquitoes than those with other blood types.
• Carbon dioxide: Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide we exhale, so people who exhale more carbon dioxide may be more attractive to mosquitoes.
• Sweat: Mosquitoes are also attracted to the chemicals in our sweat, so people who produce more of certain chemicals may be more attractive to mosquitoes.
• Diet: Studies have shown that mosquitoes are more likely to bite people who recently had spicy, salty, sweet, or potassium-filled foods. You may also be more likely to get bitten if you've recently drunk alcohol.
• Skin bacteria: The bacteria that naturally live on our skin can also play a role in attracting mosquitoes. Some studies suggest that people with a certain combination of skin bacteria may be more attractive to mosquitoes.
• Clothing: Wearing dark-colored clothing can also make a person more attractive to mosquitoes because the darker the color, the easier it is for the mosquito to see their target.

Overall, it is important to take steps to protect yourself from mosquito bites, such as wearing long sleeves and pants, using insect repellent, and avoiding being outside during peak mosquito activity times. It's also a good idea to contact a mosquito control company like McCauley Services to have your outdoor area professionally treated.
