When it comes to mosquitoes, an infestation is almost always discovered after the pests have already begun feeding on the residents of the home. Since mosquitoes don’t live in a huge nest and aren’t very large themselves, they can easily hide within the foliage and fresh water of a Millstadt yard. But once everyone starts receiving those infamous welts after an evening spent outside, the answer is clear: you have a mosquito problem on your hands.

Mosquito bites itch because of their saliva that is injected into every bite. Contrary to popular belief, these pests do not inject digested blood into each host. Rather, they pierce our skin with their proboscis (mouth parts) and release their saliva as they consume our blood. Mosquito saliva is unique in that it simultaneously numbs and anticoagulants our blood, making the feeding process smooth for them and unnoticeable by us. Our bodies have a physical reaction to mosquito saliva, hence the resulting red welts that itch relentlessly. Some people are allergic to this saliva, so their bites will instantly swell and redden.
