Aquatic Midge Fly Control

Also known as “Blind Mosquitoes”, aquatic Midge Flies are a nuisance insect that can emerge from your pond or lake and swarm in vast numbers.  Although they don’t bite, sting, or suck blood, they can still rise to obnoxious pest levels. The good news: there are plenty of options available for aquatic midge control, including many biological and eco-friendly methods.

The first step of achieving aquatic midge control is understanding the midge fly’s life cycle. The aquatic midge has four stages in its life cycle. These stages are the egg, larvae, pupae, and adult. The best control programs will target each stage of the midge fly’s life cycle. If you’re having an aquatic Midge Fly problem, contact Florida Waterways to discuss control options tailored to your unique pond or lake problem. Aquatic Midge Flies are often an indicator of poor water quality and our on-site evaluation will provide an informative look into the root cause for long-term midge fly control.

Florida Waterways is properly licensed under Florida Statute Chapter 487 for “Aquatic Pest Control” and under Chapter 388  for “Public Health Pest Control”. When evaluating companies for aquatic midge control services, it is very important to know that a specific license called a “Public Health Pest Control” license is a legal REQUIREMENT in Florida. Sadly, we’ve discovered that many of our competitors are making unlicensed applications for aquatic midge control.
