Most of Santa Clarita knows all too well how the higher temperature always brings in the bugs, specifically mosquitoes. This summer has been the 4th hottest in recorded California history, and with these record temps we’ve experienced a noticeable increase in the mosquito presence.

In a recent interview at KHTS, owner of Unipest, Cardon Ellis, gave us a couple answers about the mosquito situation currently plaguing our community. Unipest, Santa Clarita’s premier eco-friendly pest control service, is fully equipped with organic and safe solutions, ready to battle the summer bugs with you. With priorities of protecting your family from both pests and harmful chemicals, Unipest is the ideal choice.

A recent discovery about mosquitoes has the potential to change everything, says Ellis. Previously scientists, experts, and the general population thought the mosquito’s feeding system worked like a suction needle, sticking into a vein and sucking up the blood.

This new discovery tells us that in fact, the mosquito’s mouth parts work much differently. Their mouths actually stick into the skin, but once stuck, their mouths can twist and turn, looking for a vein to puncture. While this discovery is fairly new, Ellis believes it might change how we fight back mosquitoes.

Cardon Ellis reminds Santa Clarita that light bait zappers only work during the day, and dosme suggest that extensive exposure to repellent chemicals may be harmful, so new technologies are being developed. One such system is called a “mosquito bucket” around other things, and works like a poisonous Trojan Horse. A mosquito will take the poision back to its buddies and infect them as well, so one infected mosquito could potentially take down dozens more.

Unipest is wary of store-bought “solutions” for mosquitoes. Cautioning Santa Clarita to the false promises of fly bags and similar contraptions, Unipest encourages residents to consult with an expert before putting anything in or around your home. Oftentimes, these solutions only increase the problem in the long run, making it vital to talk to people who know what they’re doing.
