Terminix Reports Mosquitoes Continue to Pose Risk to Businesses Despite Dry Weather Conditions

Terminix, the world’s largest pest control provider and a subsidiary of the ServiceMaster Company, encourages businesses with outdoor areas – golf courses, restaurants, resorts, clubhouses, pool and recreation facilities and other venues – to continue to be vigilant about mosquito control even though hotter, dryer weather persists in some areas of the country.

Mosquitoes are very adaptable to changing weather conditions. Although many areas are experiencing drought conditions this year, experts say the mosquito threat does not go away. Mosquitoes will be active as long as temperature and moisture levels are favorable.

Terminix Advises Taking Steps to Control Mosquitoes in Commercial Areas:

  • Maintain good sanitation around building structures and customer areas by eliminating areas with standing water.
  • Minimize the number of stored and decorative items that can catch and hold water in and around the structure.
  • Clean debris from gutters; check for standing water on flat roofs of commercial buildings
  • If your property features decorative ponds with fish, consider including fish such as Gambusia affinis, which will eat mosquito larvae.
  • Neatly trim bushes and other vegetation that can serve as a resting place for mosquitoes. Pest control professionals may also be able to make a topical application for control on landscaping.
  • Maintain guest/resident comfort and peace-of-mind by choosing a mosquito control system with a powerful, natural plant-based formula. Safe and environmentally responsible solutions demonstrate your commitment to the planet and people.
  • Tailor insect control systems to your needs – it’s no longer all or nothing. The new misting technology allows you to choose the level of protection that suits your outdoor business needs – continuous all-day misting or spot misting for special or limited use areas.

The newest insect control systems from Terminix, Terminix Natural Mosquito Solutions, can be positioned strategically throughout the property and protect outdoor areas with unobtrusive three-minute, all-natural mist applications. The durable, easy-to-use systems require no installation. Choices range from the Terminix ALLCLEAR Pro wheeled system, which protects up to 4,000 square feet continuously for hours at a time to more compact, portable models that use the same misting system to protect 300 to 2,000 square-foot areas.
