Virginia is a great place to spend the summer, especially if you love the outdoors. But there’s one thing that can make this time of year much less fun: aquatic midges. Also known as no-see-ums or sand flies, these tiny pests resemble mosquitoes, only they don’t feed on blood.
Still, they can quickly become a nuisance in other ways, such as swarming and staining surfaces they come into contact with. Luckily, Mosquito Squad Plus of Fredericksburg has a solution, and we’re here to help with all of your aquatic midge control needs. Give us a call today, and we’ll talk about how we can help you take back your yard this summer.
What Aquatic Midges Are and Why They’re a Problem
Aquatic midges are often referred to as blind mosquitoes. They’re not actually blind, however; they simply act like they are, because they tend to swarm in huge clouds and fly directly into people, cars, lights, and other obstacles without any attempt to avoid them.
They’re mainly attracted to water and humidity and generally emerge near lakes, marshes, and other bodies of water. And since they emerge as early as April and can last as long as October, finding a solution that actually helps mitigate them can be the difference between a great summer in the backyard and a summer spent inside avoiding these annoying pests.
How Our Aquatic Midge Control Treatment Works
At Mosquito Squad Plus, we’re proud to offer a proprietary aquatic midge control treatment that is highly effective yet formulated for residential use (AKA homes like yours). When you call us for help, we’ll inspect your home to identify potential midge hotspots and develop a treatment plan tailored to your yard’s unique layout and needs.
If you’re unhappy with your initial results, we’ll come back to reapply our EPA-registered products to your yard and help offer additional protection against these pests. That’s our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee at work, there to back everything we do and make sure your needs are always taken care of.
When and Where Aquatic Midges Appear
At Mosquito Squad Plus, our aquatic midge control treatment is effective and formulated for residential use (AKA homes like yours), but the products are only half of the job. The other half is the person applying them. Our technicians live and work in this area, and they know where midges breed around Fredericksburg. That's why every job starts with a technician walking your property to find midge hotspots and build a treatment plan around your yard's layout and needs.
To help maximize our barrier control efforts, we recommend managing standing water in your yard and maintaining your lawn regularly. After all, these pests thrive in humid, damp environments, so reducing those areas in your yard wherever possible will help keep them from entering your space.
