Mosquito control

When to get mosquito control

• When mosquitoes make it difficult to enjoy your yard, patio, or pool area.
• When you're concerned about mosquito-borne disease and want to reduce risk around your home.
• When you have standing water, ponds, or dense vegetation that you can't fully eliminate.
• When you want a seasonal program that keeps mosquito numbers down from spring through fall.

Why mosquito control matters

Mosquitoes are more than a nuisance—they can spread serious diseases. Reducing their numbers around your home protects your family and pets and makes outdoor spaces usable. Professional treatment targets both larvae and adults and can be scheduled to maintain low populations throughout the season. Combined with removing standing water and maintaining landscaping, you can achieve a real reduction in bites and risk.

What to expect from mosquito control

• An assessment of your property for breeding sites and areas where adults rest (e.g., vegetation, shaded areas).
• Treatment of standing water with larvicide and/or application of barrier or residual product to foliage and structures.
• Recommendations to reduce breeding (e.g., emptying containers, cleaning gutters) and to avoid peak mosquito activity.
• A schedule for follow-up visits (e.g., every 2–4 weeks) during the mosquito season if you choose an ongoing plan.

Common questions about mosquito control

How often do I need mosquito treatment?

It depends on the product and your area. Many barrier or misting treatments are applied every 2–4 weeks during the mosquito season. Your provider will recommend a schedule.

Is mosquito spray safe for pets and plants?

Products and application rates are chosen to minimize risk when used according to label directions. Your technician can advise on re-entry times and any precautions for pets and sensitive plants.

What can I do to reduce mosquitoes myself?

Empty standing water in buckets, plant saucers, and gutters; keep grass and vegetation trimmed; and avoid being outside at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. Professional treatment adds an extra layer of control.
