Fly & Mosquito Control for Holiday Homes

Some pests invade the inside of your home. Others can make it difficult to enjoy the space just outside your door.

For homeowners in Holiday, Florida, flies and mosquitoes can create both problems. Flies can become an unwelcome presence around kitchens, garbage areas and patios, while mosquitoes can turn a pleasant evening on the lanai or in the backyard into a constant battle of swatting and itching.

At Green Land Pest Control, we provide residential pest control for Holiday families with an emphasis on identifying what is attracting pests and helping reduce the conditions that allow them to become an ongoing problem.

Why Do I Keep Getting Flies Around My Home?

Seeing an occasional fly that entered through an open door isn’t unusual. Continually finding flies inside or around the home is different.

Flies are attracted to a variety of food and organic materials. Depending upon the type of fly, possible sources can include garbage, overripe fruit, pet waste, food residue, drains and decaying organic material.

The kitchen is particularly important because flies may move between unsanitary areas and counter tops, dishes or food-preparation surfaces.

If flies continually return after the adults are eliminated, there may be an underlying source that needs attention.

Finding that source is an important part of effective fly control.

Mosquitoes Can Take Over Your Outdoor Living Space

Patios, pools, lanais and backyards are extensions of our homes in Florida.

Mosquitoes can make those spaces considerably less enjoyable.

You may notice mosquito activity becoming particularly uncomfortable around dusk, although different mosquito species can be active at different times of the day.

Besides the itching and irritation caused by their bites, mosquitoes deserve additional attention because certain species can transmit diseases.Mosquito borne illnesses of concern in Florida can include West Nile virus and other mosquito transmitted diseases. Not every mosquito carries disease, of course, but reducing mosquito populations around the areas where your family spends time is still a sensible part of protecting your outdoor environment.

That Empty Flowerpot May Be Part of the Problem

One of the most important things Holiday homeowners can do to reduce mosquitoes doesn’t require pest-control equipment.

Look for standing water.

Mosquitoes require water for part of their life cycle, and homeowners are sometimes surprised by how little water can create a potential breeding location.

After rain or irrigation, check:

  • Empty flowerpots and plant saucers
  • Buckets
  • Children’s toys
  • Birdbaths
  • Pet water bowls
  • Tarps and covers
  • Clogged gutters
  • Garbage containers
  • Pool covers
  • Other objects capable of holding water

An unused flowerpot sitting unnoticed behind the lanai can collect rainwater and remain there for days.

Make a habit of walking around the home after rain and dumping unnecessary standing water. Birdbaths, pet bowls and other necessary water containers should be emptied, cleaned or refreshed regularly.

Professional mosquito treatment can help reduce adult mosquito activity, but eliminating breeding opportunities around the home makes that treatment more effective.

Why Are Flies and Mosquitoes Different Pest Problems?

Although both fly, they shouldn’t simply be treated as the same problem.

A recurring fly problem may originate from a sanitation issue, organic material or breeding source that needs to be identified.

Mosquito management requires looking at standing water, vegetation, shaded resting areas and conditions around the exterior of the property.

Effective pest control starts by understanding the pest rather than simply treating anything with wings.

That’s the approach Green Land Pest Control brings to Holiday homes.

Flies and mosquitoes may be the pests getting your attention today, but they’re only part of the pest pressure Florida homeowners face.
