Mosquito Control and Hobby Farms

Why is mosquito control so important for hobby farms?

If you have a hobby farm in the greater Nashville area, you already know how rewarding, albeit challenging, it can be. Whether you're raising chickens, tending crops, or keeping bees, various things can ruin the peace of your idyllic paradise. And one of those things is the presence of mosquitoes.

Hobby Farms Can Be Mosquito Breeding Grounds

As it turns out, hobby farms are not just your bucolic haven, but also those of mosquitoes. They offer an ideal mix of water sources, animals, and lush vegetation. On hobby farms – or anywhere – these create an ideal environment for mosquitoes to breed and thrive. On a hobby farm, that could be anything from a water bucket to a rain barrel to an unused wheelbarrow.

On Hobby Farms, Risk Trumps Annoyance

Mosquitoes are more than a buzzing barnyard nuisance. Just like backyard mosquitoes, mosquitoes found on farms are also potential vectors for serious diseases like West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalitis – both of which can affect humans and animals. If you raise horses, chickens, goats, or even alpacas, you're protecting more than just your comfort with professional mosquito control, you could also be protecting your livelihood.

Your Livestock and Poultry Deserve a More Comfortable Life

Like humans, farm animals can be hugely affected by the all-out bother of biting bugs. Mosquitoes and flies that are constantly biting your animals will become a great stress to them, affecting their overall health, wellbeing, and productivity. Chickens might stop laying. Horses may suffer from skin irritation and disease. And perhaps even more than that, bugs in and around your animals’ feed and throughout our pastures and barns will entice other unwanted guests.
