Few things are worse than trying to enjoy time outside just to get covered in itchy mosquito bites. If the irritating bite marks weren’t bad enough, a mosquito infestation also puts you at risk of experiencing a mosquito-borne illness, which could have a serious and long-lasting impact on your health. While it may feel like mosquitoes are just a fact of life here in Central Florida, professional mosquito control can help.
At Sorko Services, we take pride in offering quality mosquito removal and prevention services in Central Florida. Our experts go beyond just eliminating the infestation and strive to provide long-lasting protection, so you can enjoy your backyard in peace.
Are Mosquitoes Dangerous?
Most people assume mosquitoes are little more than an annoyance. However, these tiny pests can be dangerous to human health. Since they feed on blood, they are capable of transmitting serious diseases such as the Zika virus or the West Nile virus.
Additionally, residents of Florida are in a particularly vulnerable position; in July 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gave a health alert announcing that there have been several cases of malaria identified in the state. Especially now, it’s important to protect yourself from these pests and prevent them from spreading to your property.
Mosquito Prevention Tips
As with any pest, it’s much easier to prevent mosquitoes from settling into your property than it is to get rid of an active infestation. Investing a little time and effort into preventative maintenance could save you from wasted time (and itchy bites!) later on. To keep mosquitoes away from your property, follow some of these tips:
Eliminate sources of standing water, such as puddles.
Clean out your gutters.
Fix any leaky irrigation systems.
Avoid going outside during dawn and dusk.
Install a fan on your porch or patio.
Use mosquito nets and keep your screens in good shape.

Everybody has mosquitoes… right? While these insects are extremely common here in Central Florida, an infestation is a lot different than encountering a bug or two while sitting on the porch. If you notice these signs, it may be time to call in a mosquito control expert:
Your property has a lot of shaded areas or stagnant water.
You see mosquitoes often, even in the middle of the day.
You’re frequently experiencing mosquito bites while outdoors.
There’s a high–pitch buzzing sound outdoors or on your patio.
You keep finding mosquitoes inside of your home or building.
