Do You Have a Mosquito Problem?
Why Are Mosquitos In
My House?
Standing Water for Breeding:
Mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant water, needing as little as a teaspoon to breed. Common indoor sources include leaky pipes, overwatered houseplants, clogged drains, or water-collecting items like vases, pet bowls, or forgotten cups. Outdoors, nearby standing water (e.g., birdbaths, gutters, or puddles) can produce mosquitoes that enter your home.
Entry Points:
Mosquitoes enter through open doors, windows without screens, torn screens, or small gaps around vents or pipes. They’re most active at dawn and dusk, so evening activities like leaving doors open can invite them in.
Why It Matters: Mosquitoes are small (1/8 to 1/4 inch) and can slip through tiny openings, especially in warm, humid weather.
Warm and Humid Conditions:
Mosquitoes thrive in warm (above 70°F) and humid environments, common in summer (like now). Homes without air conditioning or with high humidity (e.g., from poor ventilation) are more inviting.
Nearby Outdoor Sources:
If your home is near standing water (ponds, ditches, or wetlands), overgrown vegetation, or shaded areas, mosquitoes may breed outside and migrate indoors. Neighbors’ neglected yards or communal water sources (e.g., storm drains) can also contribute.
How Long
Do Mosquitos Live?
The lifespan of mosquitoes depends on the species, environmental conditions, and whether they’re male or female
Female Mosquitoes: Typically live 2-4 weeks indoors under ideal conditions (warm, humid, with access to blood meals for egg-laying). In optimal settings (e.g., 70-85°F, high humidity), some females can survive up to 2 months. Blood meals extend their lifespan by providing energy for reproduction.
Male Mosquitoes: Live about 1-2 weeks. Males don’t bite; they feed on nectar and die sooner, often after mating.
Life Cycle: From egg to adult, mosquitoes complete their cycle in 7-14 days in warm conditions (like now, July 2025). Eggs hatch in 1-2 days in standing water, larvae develop in 4-10 days, and pupae emerge as adults in 1-3 days. This rapid cycle means new generations can appear quickly if breeding sites aren’t addressed.
Food availability, humidity, breeding sites and overall indoor conditions can affect the overall lifespan of mosquitoes.
How Do I
Get Rid
Of Them?
Eliminate Breeding Sites
Remove standing water indoors (e.g., plant saucers, pet bowls, drains) and outdoors (e.g., gutters, birdbaths). Clean daily or use larvicides (BTI dunks) for unavoidable water.
Impact: Stops new mosquitoes from emerging within 7-14 days.
Block Entry and Reduce Attractants
Seal gaps with screens (16-mesh), caulk, or door sweeps. Use fans to deter weak-flying mosquitoes.
Lower humidity (below 50%) with a dehumidifier. Clean sugary spills and cover plants.
Impact: Prevents new mosquitoes and starves existing ones (die in 2-5 days without food).
Kill Mosquitoes and Maintain
Use UV/CO2 traps or indoor-safe sprays (e.g., permethrin) in corners or resting areas (basements, bathrooms).
Vacuum resting spots and disinfect surfaces. Check for new water sources weekly.
Hire the Double D pros for persistent or larger infestation issues:
Some typical things we do for mosquito infestations are,
- Apply larvicides or barrier sprays to outdoor areas.
- Use advanced traps or fogging for severe infestations.
- Identify hidden indoor breeding sites (e.g., in sump pumps or crawlspaces).

THE DOUBLE D FLY SOLUTION
STEP 1
Thorough Inspection and Source Identification
Inspect your property for standing water (indoors: drains, plant saucers; outdoors: gutters, birdbaths) and resting areas (shaded corners, basements). Identify mosquito species (e.g., Aedes, Culex) to tailor treatments, noting behavior and breeding preferences.
Assess entry points (torn screens, gaps in vents) and attractants (sugary spills, humidity). Document findings and discuss with the client..

STEP 2
Targeted Elimination and Exclusion
Eliminate the breeding sites by removing standing water or applying EPA-approved larvicides (e.g., BTI) to unavoidable sources. Deploy indoor-safe traps (UV/CO2-based) or targeted sprays (permethrin-based) in resting areas. Use barrier sprays outdoors if needed.
Seal entry points with fine-mesh screens, caulk, or door sweeps. Install fans to deter mosquito flight. Advise clients to reduce attractants (clean spills, lower humidity with dehumidifiers).

STEP 3
Prevention and Follow-Up
Provide you education for prevention: empty water containers weekly, maintain clean drains, and use fans or repellents.
Apply residual treatments or install exclusion measures (e.g., vent screens) for ongoing protection.
Schedule a follow-up visit with you within 7-14 days to monitor traps, check for new breeding sites, and reapply treatments if needed. Provide you with a detailed report with maintenance tips and your contact info for support.
