What Are Aquatic Midges and Why They Are a Problem
Aquatic midges are tiny pests that are often referred to as no-see-ums or blind mosquitoes. They’re not really blind, though. They actually get this nickname from the incessant swarming, during which they’re known to fly straight into humans, cars, lights, and other obstacles as if they can’t see them.
While midges don’t bite, the swarming makes them pretty unpleasant, especially when you’re trying to spend time in your backyard. They also stain clothing and furniture when they land or are smushed against a surface.
How Our Aquatic Midge Control Treatment Works
At Mosquito Squad Plus, our aquatic midge control is highly effective and formulated for residential use. The bigger difference is who shows up. Our technicians know OBX, they know where midges breed along the sounds and tidal waters, and they treat your property with the care they'd give their own. Your service starts with a yard inspection, during which they'll look for potential hotspots and create a custom treatment plan that works with your yard's unique needs and layout.
Then, we’ll create a protective barrier around your home using our EPA-registered products, which helps target current populations and prevent more from entering your yard. If you’re not completely satisfied with your results, contact us within 14 days, and we’ll reapply your treatment for free.
When and Where Aquatic Midges Appear
Midges appear during warm weather seasons, which means they can arrive as early as April and last well into October. Like other pests, they thrive in water and will therefore emerge in large numbers near lakes, rivers, and tidal waters. They’ll typically look for sheltered environments in your yard, especially ones that are damp or humid.
It’s important to note, though, that they’re also drawn to light, and we mean all kinds: glowing lights inside your home at night, car lights, porch lights. While you can’t exactly do much about light, we recommend other ways to keep midges away, including managing standing water around your home and keeping your lawn trimmed regularly.
