With the Zika Virus health risks we have decided to open up our mosquito control services to all of our customers. The Zika Virus is very serious and can cause many health problems so we want to make sure our customers know the risks of catching the virus and hope you choose WA Management to help prevent mosquitoes from ruining your outdoor fun this summer.

Mosquito Control Service (Every 21 Days)
Mosquitoes are resilient pests that will not only ruin your outdoor experience, but also carry dangerous vector-borne diseases. Our most popular mosquito control treatment is our barrier protection spray program. Applied by our applicators around your home and throughout your backyard, this dependable mosquito control eliminates mosquitoes on contact and continues working for up to 21 days, depending on the impact of rain and weather elements. For optimum protection, season-long control is highly recommended, every 21 days. We will remind you in advance of an upcoming service and leave you notification that we’ve been there. You don’t even need to be home during the application.
Our program will help to protects your family (and pets) from the nuisance and danger of mosquitoes by focusing on the areas of your property where mosquitoes and ticks are most likely to feed and harbor. Once applied, we provides even greater protection as mosquitoes attempt to feed off your greenery, as the residue from the treatment will knock them down too.

Zika Virus Information
The Zika Virus has potential connection to microcephaly which is a disease that causes babies to be born with abnormally small heads and brains. Here is some helpful information about the virus.
Transmission
- These mosquitoes typically lay eggs in and near standing water in things like buckets, bowls, animal dishes, flower pots and vases. They prefer to bite people, and live indoors and outdoors near people.
- Mosquitoes that spread chikungunya, dengue, and Zika are aggressive daytime biters. They can also bite at night.
- Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on a person already infected with the virus. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to other people through bites.
- Zika has also been know to be transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person
Symptoms
- About 1 in 5 people infected with Zika virus become ill (i.e., develop Zika).
- The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, or conjunctivitis (red eyes). Other common symptoms include muscle pain and headache. The incubation period (the time from exposure to symptoms) for Zika virus disease is not known, but is likely to be a few days to a week.
- The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week.
- People usually don’t get sick enough to go to the hospital, and they very rarely die of Zika.
- Zika virus usually remains in the blood of an infected person for about a week but it can be found longer in some people.
