Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are not as significant a problem in the UK as in tropical countries, but can still impact residential or commercial properties in several ways.

Common types: Asian Tiger Mosquito, Culex pipiens, The Caspian Mosquito, Yellow Fever Mosquito.
Preferred conditions: Residential or commercial properties with poorly drained gardens, blocked gutters, water tanks, birdbaths, or ponds are more susceptible to mosquito infestations since they breed in stagnant water. Damp basements, leaks, or humid indoor conditions also attract mosquitoes.
Regions: Maidstone, Ashford, Kent, Gillingham, Faversham, Thanet, Folkestone, Deal, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, Dover, Chatham, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Sittingbourne.
Health risks: Itchy, red welts from mosquito bites can be uncomfortable, especially during the warm months when mosquito populations are at their highest. In extreme cases, excessive scratching may lead to other skin conditions. The UK has a minimal risk of mosquito borne illnesses, but rising temperatures and climate change have sparked worries about the possibility of diseases like malaria or West Nile virus resurfacing in the future. There have been isolated reports of non native mosquito species in the UK, including the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), which is known to transmit diseases like dengue and the Zika virus.
Damage and challenges: Mosquitoes are most active in gardens, patios, and near water bodies, making your summer evenings and outdoor activities difficult. The high pitched buzzing and biting of mosquitoes disrupt sleep and cause discomfort.

Although mosquitoes are not as dangerous in the UK as they are in other parts of the world, they can be uncomfortable, interfere with outdoor activities and pose a risk to health.
