MosquitoNix Insect Library

Welcome to the MosquitoNix® Insect Library!

At MosquitoNix, we're committed to driving pests away from your home so you can fully enjoy your indoor and outdoor spaces. While mosquitos are our specialty, there are several other household insects we can eliminate with our effective and affordable MosquitoNix outdoor misting systems and fogging services. The following are some of the common pests we can eliminate using our eco-friendly pest control methods.

Mosquitos: You don't only find mosquitoes in Florida. Mosquitos are attracted to standing water anywhere they find it. Generally, they are most active from dusk till dawn. The females "bite" to feed on blood. These flying insects are especially annoying due to the fact their bites leave itchy, red welts on the skin. The worst part is mosquitos pose a potential health risk because they can spread diseases like West Nile virus, Zika and malaria. While Florida mosquitoes might be the worst, no matter where you live, you don't want to deal with these flying insects.

MosquitoNix provides powerful, effective solutions to keep mosquitos away using natural, biodegradable insect repellent formulas that deliver powerful results. Specialized services are available for residential homes, commercial locations and for special events. In addition, portable mosquito extermination solutions are available for camping, picnics, patios and smaller backyards.
No-see-ums: Also known as biting gnats and sand flies, no-see-ums are another particularly irritating pest. Similar to mosquitos, female no-see-ums cause painful bites when they feed on blood and can transmit disease, especially in warmer climates. Another issue with no-see-ums is that they are so tiny (hence the name) that they often get into the house by fitting through screens on windows and doors. Moist soil and standing water attract these flying insects just like their mosquito counterpart. Traditional insecticides and repellents often don't work on no-see-ums, but MosquitoNix offers customized services to rid your home and yard of these pesky insects.
Flies: Flies are one of the most common household insects. There are more than 16,000 species of flies in North America alone, but some of the most common types include blow flies, bottle flies, fruit flies, house flies and gnats. Flies are attracted to food waste, along with liquor and beer bottles. These insects have been known to carry a wide variety of pathogens, so keeping your home clean and all garbage covered is an excellent way to deter flies. MosquitoNix can also deliver targeted solutions to get these bugs out of your home and keep them out.
Blind mosquitos: Blind mosquitos usually appear in swarms of what appear to be mosquitos flying around near your head. Despite the name, however, blind mosquitos are actually a type of fly. They don't "bite" to feed on blood or carry diseases, fortunately. However, they can be a real nuisance because they tend to travel in large groups, making the swarms a bit overwhelming at times. In addition, they can leave stains on the paint of your home or your car, and those with allergies may find their condition is aggravated when blind mosquitos are around. MosquitoNix can help get rid of blind mosquitos around your home, so you don't have to deal with these pesky flying insects when they start to swarm.
Spiders: There are tens of thousands of spider species around the world, all with their own quirks and various reasons they want in or out of your home. While some prefer moisture, others are attracted to dry areas. They generally capture other insects as their prey in their delicately strung webs. Spiders often enter homes through cracks and gaps in their search for prey. Some may also end up in the house after being inside a box or other items that were previously outdoors. Because it's difficult to figure out exactly how spiders get in the house, it can be tough to get rid of them on your own. MosquitoNix can help by providing a customized pest control solution to eliminate spiders from your home and come up with a solution to keep them out.
Ants: Ants are particularly clever when it comes to finding their way into your home or garage, as they can get in through even the tiniest cracks. From the large ones that want your bagel crumbs to those groups of tiny ants that seem to take over your kitchen every summer, each type of ant is annoying. Typically, they are attracted to an area by water and food. Because they tend to nest out of sight, it's difficult to get rid of them. Ant colonies can grow to number in the hundreds of thousands, so it's not a pest issue you want to take lightly. As soon as you see ants in or around your home, take steps to keep them away by eliminating standing water and exposed food. Then, call MosquitoNix for a fast, effective and affordable solution for getting rid of ants.
Fire ants: This variety of ants usually makes it home in the ground along with a colony of up to 250,000 workers. Unlike other ants, which generally leave people alone, fire ants can be extremely active and aggressive. They'll sting animals and humans repeatedly when they come into contact. A fire ant infestation is usually detected by either the painful stings or by observing sandy mounds in the yard. MosquitoNix can perform an inspection to determine the source of the fire ants, and then apply a treatment that eliminates and prevents infestations.
Ticks: Ticks are small, parasitic insects that latch onto the skin of animals and humans to feed on blood. Unlike other insects, ticks don't fly or jump; they wait in grassy or wooded areas to attach to a host when brushed against. Ticks can pose serious health risks as they are known to transmit a number of diseases, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and anaplasmosis. MosquitoNix offers powerful, targeted solutions that help reduce tick populations and prevent these dangerous pests from spreading disease. Whether it's for residential areas, commercial locations, or outdoor spaces, MosquitoNix provides effective tick control services.

How to Combat These Pests Whether you have or haven't seen any of these bugs around your home, you should know how to take easy, daily steps to take care of them when they do show up.

Fill in cracks around doors and windows
Check all screens for tears or scratches in them
Keep your yard neat, clean and tidy
Don't forget to keep bushes and tree limbs trimmed
Scan your yard for any standing water
Take away and turn over all possible places for water to collect

It doesn't take all weekend or a team of people to do a few basic checklist items around your home-both inside and outside-to make sure you do your best to prevent bugs from thinking your home is the bee's knees. Speaking of bees, leave them alone and let them do their thing.

Inside your home needs attention in order to keep those bugs out. A trip to the local hardware store for the proper filler for your home is all you need to take care of cracks or holes around your door and window frames to keep bugs out. This will give you the added benefits of a nicer-looking home aesthetically. Plus, sealing up places air gets through won't hurt your heating and cooling bills, right?

What people tend to forget to check are the screens. Pets can accidentally scratch them, and kids might forget to tell you they were playing with one and made a hole. You also want to check your screens to keep out the bigger flying insects like wasps and bees.

A clean yard and no pooled water will keep the mosquitoes from moving onto someone else's space. Get out there after every storm or rain and tip and dump all standing water, including pet bowls.
