Pest Details
Mosquitoes spread diseases such as West Nile virus, Zika virus, and dengue fever. Texas has some of the highest rates of mosquito-borne illnesses in the U.S., with the Aedes aegypti and Culex species being the primary culprits.
Mosquitoes enter homes through open doors, windows, cracks, and vents, especially if there are no screens. They are attracted to light, body heat, and carbon dioxide and can also hitch a ride indoors on clothing or pets.
Mosquitoes are highly dangerous pests, as they spread deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, Zika, and West Nile virus. Their bites cause itching, allergic reactions, and skin infections, and large infestations can make outdoor and indoor spaces unbearable.
Mosquito lifespans vary by species. Females live 2–8 weeks, while males only survive about a week. In ideal conditions, some species can live up to several months, with females hibernating through winter.
