Mosquito Control

Mosquitoes are the most significant vector of human disease in history, responsible for more human deaths annually than any other living creature. Not only do mosquitoes carry diseases that are dangerous to humans, they also transmit several diseases and parasites harmful to dogs, cats, horses and other animals. There are over 3,000 different species of mosquitoes throughout the world; currently 176 species are recognized in the United States.
