đŚ PSA: Mosquitoes Are Back and Hungrier Than EverâBut Weâve Got a Game-Changer!
Bite Me? Nope. Not Anymore.

đ Shoo, Skeeters! Take Back Your Bite-Free Backyard!
đ Hey there!
Itâs February now, but donât get too comfyâmosquito season is right around the corner. As temperatures rise and spring rains roll in, these bloodsuckers start breeding like crazy in standing water. By March and April, theyâre out in full force, ready to crash every backyard hangout.
And in Southwest Florida? They never really leave. More mosquitoes mean more bites, more itching, and a bigger risk of diseases like West Nile, Zika, and Dengue.
But hereâs the good newsâweâve got a plan. Stay ahead of the swarm and keep your yard bite-free before they take over!
đŚ Alright, Letâs Talk About Mosquitoes

đ Bringing people together⌠one itchy bite at a time.
Theyâre tiny, theyâre annoying, and somehow, they always know exactly where to find you. But did you know these little bloodsuckers are actually some of the most fascinating (and terrifying) creatures on the planet?
Here are some wild mosquito facts thatâll make you appreciate bug spray a little more.
đŠ¸Why Mosquitoes Are Such a Nightmare Here

âď¸ Turn Your Yard Into a No-Fly Zone (For Mosquitoes!)
â Only Females Bite â The guys are out here living their best nectar-loving lives, while the females need blood to develop their eggs. So yeah, that mosquito keeping you up at night? Probably a mom-to-be.
â Theyâre the Deadliest Creatures on Earth â Forget sharks. Mosquitoes are responsible for more human deaths than any other animal, spreading malaria, Zika, Dengue, and more.
â They Can Smell You from 100 Feet Away â Thatâs right. You canât hide. Mosquitoes track you down using carbon dioxide, body heat, and sweat. If youâre breathing (which, we assume you are), youâre on their radar.
â They Have a Type â Mosquitoes are more attracted to some people than others. Studies show they prefer Type O blood over Type A or B. Plus, if you sweat more or have high body heat, congratsâyouâre the main course.
â They Breed FAST â A single female can lay up to 300 eggs at a time, and in Floridaâs endless summer, those eggs can hatch into biting adults in less than a week. That means populations explode fast, especially after rain.
â They Donât Just Feed on Humans â Birds, reptiles, amphibians, and other mammals are also on the menu. Basically, if it has blood, itâs fair game.
â They Can Fly in the Rain â Ever wonder how mosquitoes survive giant raindrops? They donât resist the impactâthey ride it out like tiny adrenaline junkies.
â They Breed FAST â A single female can lay up to 300 eggs at a time, and in the right conditions (aka Floridaâs endless summer), those eggs hatch into biting adults in less than a week. That means mosquito populations explode fast, especially after rain.
â They Carry Nasty Diseases â Mosquitoes in Florida are known to transmit West Nile Virus, Zika, Dengue, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). Even if you donât get sick, the bites alone cause itching, swelling, and allergic reactions in many people.
8 WAYS TO PREVENT MALARIA.
I came home yesterday to find my aunt sick. The cause? Malaria.
Despite how common it is, malaria remains a serious disease that can become life threatening if not treated.
And with the rainy season, the risk is rising.
How do you protect yourself?

đĽ Backyards Are for BBQs, Not Bloodsuckers!
At Waves, weâre rolling out an advanced treatment that doesnât just kill adult mosquitoesâit stops future generations before they even hatch.
đš Instant Knockdown â Our treatment eliminates adult mosquitoes on contact, giving you fast relief from biting swarms.
đš Long-Lasting Protection â Unlike quick-fading sprays, this solution keeps working for up to 75 days, even in Floridaâs extreme heat, sunlight, and humidity using UVX technology.
đš Stops the Cycle â We donât just eliminate adult mosquitoesâwe use an insect growth regulator (IGR) that prevents eggs and larvae from developing. No larvae = no future mosquito invasion.
đš Extra Protection with Mosquito Dunks â Have standing water that canât be drained? We recommend mosquito dunks, which use a natural bacteria (Bti) to kill larvae before they hatchâcompletely safe for pets, birds, and beneficial insects.
