Mosquito Exterminator
MOSQUITO PEST CONTROL IN DOUGLAS & LINCOLN COUNTIES
If you’ve spent time near water, you’ve probably encountered mosquitoes. With over 3,500 species worldwide, these pests are common in most areas worldwide. In Douglas and Lincoln Counties, residents often struggle with these blood-sucking insects during the warm summer months.
While they have a reputation for their bites, they don’t solely rely on blood to stay alive. The primary food sources for both male and female mosquitoes are nectar and pollen from plants. When it’s time to breed, female mosquitoes will feed on animals or humans to get their fix.
After a successful blood meal, female mosquitoes will lay their eggs on standing water. The mosquito larvae, also known as wrigglers, feed on organisms in the water to aid their development. A female can lay up to 100 eggs per batch and up to three batches in her short lifespan, with development from egg to adult only taking about ten days. Since mosquitoes live, breed, and feed outdoors, they are challenging to control and keep off your property.
Mosquitoes aren’t easy pests to remove alone. For help eliminating and preventing mosquitoes, rely on us: Omaha and Lincoln’s top mosquito pest control company!

ARE MOSQUITOES DANGEROUS?
Despite their small size, mosquitoes are among the most dangerous pests in the world. They cause more deaths than any other animal because of the serious, life-threatening diseases they can spread.
In tropical and developing countries, mosquitoes can spread the following diseases:
- Malaria: Spread by infected Anopheles mosquitoes, malaria causes fever, chills, and flu-like symptoms.
- Dengue Fever: A viral infection transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, causing severe flu-like symptoms and sometimes leading to severe bleeding and organ damage.
- Yellow Fever: Spread by infected Aedes mosquitoes in tropical regions, yellow fever causes fever, jaundice, and bleeding.
Closer to home, they can carry and transmit:
- Zika Virus: Primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, Zika infection can lead to congenital disabilities and neurological complications in adults.
- West Nile Virus: Transmitted by infected Culex mosquitoes, West Nile Virus can cause fever, body aches, and, in severe cases, neurological diseases.
- Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE): A rare but serious virus transmitted by mosquitoes that can cause brain inflammation and, in severe cases, death.
Mosquitoes can also harm pets by spreading diseases like heartworms, which can be deadly if untreated in dogs and cats. That’s why professional mosquito pest control services are essential to safeguard your family and pets! Let Recon Pest Services help you reclaim your outdoor space from mosquitoes.
WHY DO I HAVE A MOSQUITO PROBLEM?
Mosquitoes thrive in areas with standing water and ample food sources. Spots rich in plants and vegetation are also mosquito hotspots, as the pests prefer to rest and feed on flowering plants and fruits.

F.A.Q.
Q: Why do I have so many mosquitoes in my yard?
A: Homes with standing water are prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes. To keep mosquitoes away and limit their return, regularly inspect your property for standing water and contact Recon for protection against mosquitoes!
Q: How can I determine where the mosquitoes are coming from?
A: Identifying the source can be challenging since mosquitoes can breed in as little as a teaspoon of water. Start by checking larger water sources, common areas where water accumulates, and other potential sources like overturned toys, rainwater buckets, tarps, or neglected containers.
Mosquitoes are opportunistic breeders and can use any standing water to lay their eggs and multiply rapidly. Regularly inspect and eliminate these potential breeding sites to help reduce mosquito populations around your home.
Q: Will watering my lawn or garden cause an infestation of mosquitoes?
A: It depends on the area’s drainage capability. If water accumulates and persists for extended periods, it can create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes. Proper drainage and regular maintenance can help prevent potential infestations and even prevent other pests from sticking around.
