Yes. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes can transmit serious diseases such as dengue, Zika virus, yellow fever, and chikungunya, which can affect both humans and animals.
If you notice frequent mosquito bites, standing water sources nearby, or daytime mosquito activity, it’s time to call Santera for a professional inspection and treatment plan.
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are small, dark-colored insects with distinctive white markings on their legs and a lyre-shaped pattern on their thorax. They measure 4–7 mm in length and are easily recognized by their contrasting black-and-white body patterns.
Eliminate standing water from containers, flowerpots, and gutters. Keep water storage covered, use mosquito repellents, and install window and door screens to prevent mosquito entry.
Females lay eggs on the walls of water-filled containers, even above the waterline. The eggs can survive dry conditions for months and hatch when re-exposed to water, quickly developing into adults in about a week.
Female Aedes aegypti feed on human blood to produce eggs, while males feed primarily on nectar and plant juices.
These mosquitoes are active mainly during the day, especially early morning and late afternoon. They prefer to live close to humans, breeding in artificial containers and resting indoors or in shaded areas outdoors.
