Mosquito Control in Dover, Arkansas

Mosquito Control in Dover, Arkansas

Signs you have mosquitoes in Dover

• Heavy mosquito activity in the yard at dusk and dawn — mosquitoes swarming near the patio, the deck, and the bushes.
• Bites on the family, especially after sunset — fresh bites that show up after time outside.
• Standing water near the house — birdbaths, gutters, plant saucers, and low spots that breed larvae.
• Mosquitoes resting on the walls and under the eaves — adults hanging in the shade during the day.
• Larvae in standing water — the wriggling larvae in any container that holds water.

Why Dover homes get mosquitoes

The sandy loam over clay that surrounds Dover is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what mosquitoes need to thrive. The the Ozarks, the Arkansas River Valley, and Delta lowlands adds harborage, and the humid subtropical climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Arkansas River, the Mississippi River, and the Ozark lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
