MOSQUITOES IN KANSAS CITY
The Most Common Pest In Your Home And Yard May Also Be The Most Dangerous
Homeowners across the Kansas City area are plagued by summer infestations of mosquitoes carrying a wide range of diseases. One of the most critical things Kansas City area residents can do at the change of seasons is to keep a lookout for mosquitos. They must remain alert regarding the mosquito population in their home, yard, and the surrounding areas. When you notice an abundance of mosquitoes in your neighborhood. Then it’s time to take action, as mosquitoes carry diseases that could affect your health.
Mosquitoes Carry Diseases
Mosquitos Pose A Serious Threat – Especially For Children, Seniors, And Anyone With Compromised Immune Systems
While rats and fleas were major carriers and contributors to the plague in the Middle Ages, mosquitoes carrying malaria and other diseases are likely the leading cause of fatal infections today. No pest in history has been responsible for more deaths than mosquitos. The worst of them can carry yellow fever, Chikungunya, Dengue Fever, West Nile virus, Zika virus, and more. Mosquitoes can transmit heartworms, which can be fatal to family pets. There are other diseases like malaria that are thought to have been eradicated. However, there is a constant threat of reemergence – especially since worldwide travel provides an opportunity for mosquitoes and other pests to enter the country.
Mosquitoes Can Be Easy To Detect In Flight But More Difficult To Find When They Attack
If you have ever had mosquitoes in your room when you are trying to fall asleep, the eerie, high-pitched flight of these pests may be the only warning you get. Once they land, they can quickly penetrate the skin and begin feeding on your blood. Their bite may go unnoticed. This is because it releases a chemical that delivers a local anesthetic. This makes it difficult for the victim to tell that they are being attacked until the mosquito is long gone. Once the mosquito is engorged and on its way, the bite area will often swell, become itchy, and may get infected. Now you’re uncomfortable, and the offending mosquito is full and on her way to breed somewhere in your house. Importantly, remember that mosquitoes carry diseases that could pose serious health risks.
