Mosquito Infestation — Nicosia, Nicosia
A persistent mosquito infestation makes outdoor spaces unusable, poses health risks from diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika, and can breed rapidly in even small amounts of standing water around the property. Populations explode when gutters hold stagnant water, birdbaths are not refreshed, or low spots in the yard collect rainwater. A pest-control technician inspects the property for breeding sites, eliminates standing water sources, applies targeted larvicide to areas that cannot be drained, and treats the yard with a barrier spray to repel adult mosquitoes for several weeks.
