Mosquito Control in Bangalore

Mosquito eggs can hatch into biting adults in as little as 7–10 days under warm, humid conditions, which is why even small amounts of stagnant water left for a week can produce a new generation of mosquitoes.

Aedes mosquitoes (dengue, chikungunya vectors) bite during the day and breed in clean stagnant water; Anopheles (malaria vector) bites at dusk/night and prefers larger water bodies; Culex (common house mosquito, filariasis vector) breeds in dirty stagnant water and bites mostly at night.

No, fogging kills only adult flying mosquitoes on contact and has no residual effect on eggs or larvae. Larvicidal treatment of breeding sites (stagnant water) is required separately to break the reproduction cycle.

Mosquitoes can breed in as little as a bottle cap of stagnant water, which is why items like flowerpot saucers, discarded tires, AC drip trays, and clogged gutters are common overlooked breeding sites even in otherwise clean homes.

Yes, water collected in plant saucers, vases, and even leaf axils of certain plants can become breeding sites within a week if not emptied and cleaned regularly, especially during humid or rainy seasons.

Rodents can transmit diseases like leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonellosis through urine, droppings, and bites, and they also cause fire hazards by gnawing through electrical wiring, making rodent control a genuine safety issue beyond property damage.
