Who hasn’t been bitten by a mosquito? These annoying blood suckers leave itchy welts all over your body. But mosquitos are more than just an annoyance; they are responsible for more human fatalities than any other living creature — over a million deaths worldwide every year.
In the United States alone, mosquitoes cause West Nile Virus, Heart Worm in dogs and Eastern Equine Encephalitis, not to mention several cases each year of Malaria and Dengue Fever.
Mosquitoes are especially prevalent here in McLean and the DC metro area; according to the Centers for Disease Control, almost 10% of all deaths in the U.S. from West Nile Virus in 2010 occurred in Virginia and Maryland!

Mosquito control tips for the McLean homeowner
While our products are very effective in killing ticks and mosquitos there are certain things that that homeowners can do to help us help you. Any complete tick and mosquito prevention program wouldn’t be complete without you, the homeowner, helping to reduce the population of ticks and mosquitos in your yard.
There are a number of steps you can take to make your Mclean yard more habitable for your family, friends and pets. John Mitchell, founder of Backyard Bug Patrol, outlines eight top mosquito-proofing tips.
1. Tip over any standing water in the yard (in kid’s toys, flower pots, kiddie pools, trash cans, and so on), so that mosquitoes have nowhere to lay their eggs.
2. Fill any open knots and holes in trees or ditches that hold water with sand or concrete. Remember, mosquitoes just need a cap full of water to lay eggs.
3. Drain bird baths weekly. Or better yet, don’t fill them with water.
4 .Repair or replace ripped window screens.
5. Wear light colored clothing and make sure you cover yourself as completely as possible.
6. Add flowers. Flowers will help attract friendly bugs such as dragonflies, as well as birds — both of which eat mosquitoes.
7. Add a birdhouse. Not only are birds beautiful to watch, they eat mosquitoes. More birds equal fewer mosquitoes.
8. Hire a McLean mosquito control professional. Yes, your yard can be treated for mosquitos. Make sure when you’re shopping for a pest control specialist that they specialize in mosquito reduction and prevention.
