How to Identify Mosquito
Learn to identify mosquitoes by their slender bodies, long legs, and distinctive wings. Look for their unique buzzing and biting behavior.

Key Distinguishing Features
- Burrows: Do not create burrows; lay eggs in stagnant water surfaces.
- Behaviour: Most active at dawn and dusk; attracted to body heat, carbon dioxide, and sweat.
- Habitat: Prefer areas with standing water such as ponds, marshes, and containers for breeding.
- Diet: Adult females feed on blood for egg production; males and females also consume nectar and plant juices.

Why DIY Methods Always Fail
Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:
Homemade sugar-yeast trap
Problem: Mosquitoes are not strongly attracted to the trap
Result: Ineffective at significantly reducing mosquito population

Essential oil spray
Problem: Essential oils evaporate quickly and lose potency
Result: Mosquitoes return once the scent fades
Mosquito netting
Problem: Mosquitoes can still breed in standing water nearby
Result: Only prevents bites, does not reduce infestation
Standing water removal
Problem: Mosquitoes can breed in even tiny amounts of water that are easily missed
Result: Infestation often returns despite efforts
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
