Fox Pest Control’s Syracuse Mosquito Exterminator Service
Summer comes each year with the promise of warm weather, sunshine, fun, and as always, mosquitoes. These pests can take over your yard and multiply quickly. They lay 100 eggs at a time, oftentimes in standing water. When biting, mosquitoes can drink up to 3 times their body weight in blood. Not only do these bites hurt, they can be quite harmful. Because they carry diseases, mosquitoes are considered the world’s deadliest animals. Through Malaria, Zika and West Nile Virus, mosquitoes are responsible for nearly 1 million deaths per year. Fox Pest Control knows how to control your Syracuse mosquito problem and exterminate them quickly.
Signs of a Mosquito Infestation
You might already know for sure that you have a mosquito problem. But here are a couple of the most common signs of a mosquito infestation in Syracuse.
Sightings
One of the signs of a mosquito infestation is to see them flying around.
Bites
Even before they’re seen, mosquitoes can bite and fly away before you know what happened. A bite is often itchy and may raise a small red bump on the skin.
What You Need to Know About Mosquitoes
- They’re attracted to the smell of our blood and the carbon dioxide we exhale. Essentially, we’re all walking mosquito magnets.
- They transmit many diseases, including
- West Nile virus– an infectious disease whose symptoms include fever, skin rash, body aches, and swollen lymph glands
- Zika virus– an RNA virus that causes a rash, itching all over, muscle pain, red eyes, joint pain, fever, and a headache
- Malaria- a disease caused by a parasite that invades red blood cells and brings on fever, chills, sweating, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and sometimes jaundice
Helpful Mosquito Prevention Tips:
- Avoid wearing perfumes or colognes.
- Wear long sleeves and pants when outdoors or near water.
- Avoid early evening activities
- Eliminate standing water:
- Swimming Pools

Here Is Why You Should Call Fox Pest Control
Mosquito Control FAQ
Do all mosquitoes bite?
Of the more than 3,500 species, only a couple hundred will actually bite humans … and then it’s only the females. That having been written, there are plenty of female mosquitoes around in Syracuse, so don’t worry, you’ll need lots of help with mosquito control.
Where do mosquitoes lay their eggs?
Mosquitoes love very shallow water or even damp soil for laying eggs. Try to keep your property free of standing water … of any depth!
When is the best time to avoid mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes love cool, moist environments … and they hate the heat. The best to be outside while also avoiding mosquitoes is in the heat of the day. (Or you could call Fox Pest Control in Syracuse to help you get rid of mosquitoes.)
Why are mosquito bites itchy?
When a female mosquito bites you, it injects an anticoagulant within its saliva that, while helping the blood flow, also creates an allergic response in most humans.
Are mosquitoes dangerous?
Yes they can be. Even in Syracuse mosquitoes can carry and transmit several diseases, including:
- West Nile virus– an infectious disease whose symptoms include fever, skin rash, body aches, and swollen lymph glands.
- Zika virus– an RNA virus that causes a rash, itching all over, muscle pain, red eyes, joint pain, fever, and a headache.
- Malaria- a disease caused by a parasite that invades red blood cells and brings on fever, chills, sweating, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and sometimes jaundice.

Syracuse Pest Control Reviews
I called around a year ago and tried to get a decent price to take care of the mouse problem that I had. The mice were under my house and in my walls. Other companies wanted a car payment each month. Fox pest control offered a very low price to come out each month. While on the phone they were polite and very professional and knowledgeable about the product and the habit of mice. Josh is my service man, he comes out monthly and services the mice boxes. On his first visit he looked at every nook and cranny in my house-very impressive. He set traps and explained how if I found a mouse i could throw it out or just call the company and he would come take care of it for me!! that is too cool. I have had them for a year now, I no longer have mice in my walls, the damage the mice have made has been repaired and no new damage has commenced. Not to mention included in my monthly service is spraying my house for bugs and spiders BIG PLUS. I personally LOVE the monthly service and Josh is fantastic. He is very professional and respectful. On days he knows I have to work, he is quiet as to not make the dog bark when he is going around the house. (I work overnight and sleep during the day) . They are awesome about rescheduling if needed. On top of all that fantastic service, I had carpenter bees burrowing in my wood on my porch and I called to see if they could help willing to pay extra and it was INCLUDED in my monthly service, they sent someone out the next day to handle the holes and checked in again on my normal scheduled visit!! I highly recommend this for anyone suffering from bugs or rodents. They do offer a mosquito service separate, but it was not in my budget this year. My monthly service helps all that I need. Another cool thing is all the products they use are animal friendly and not harmful to them at all!! SUPER GREAT!!! Josh is so great he even remembers where each and every trap is sets in the house! I have recommended them to all of my friends!!
