✅ Our Mosquito Control Process
Step 1: Free Property Inspection
We inspect your yard – standing water sources, landscaping, gutters, and resting areas – to identify mosquito breeding sites and harborage areas.
Step 2: Breeding Site Elimination
We identify and recommend elimination of standing water sources where mosquitoes breed (birdbaths, clogged gutters, flower pots, etc.).
Step 3: Larvicide Treatment
We apply larvicide to standing water that cannot be eliminated (ponds, drainage ditches) to kill mosquito larvae before they become adults.
Step 4: Adulticide Barrier Treatment
We apply a professional-grade barrier treatment to your yard – shrubs, trees, grass, and foundation – killing adult mosquitoes on contact and repelling new ones for weeks.
Step 5: Mosquito Traps (Optional)
We can install mosquito traps to capture and reduce adult mosquito populations.
Step 6: Ongoing Prevention
We recommend monthly barrier treatments during mosquito season (March–October) to maintain protection.

🔍 Mosquito Life Cycle (7-14 days):
- Egg: Laid in standing water – up to 300 eggs at a time
- Larva: “Wriggler” stage – lives in water, feeds on microorganisms
- Pupa: “Tumbler” stage – transforms into adult
- Adult: Emerges from water – females need blood to produce eggs
Our larvicide treatments break the cycle by killing mosquitoes before they become biting adults.
🧼 Mosquito Prevention Tips
- 💧 Eliminate standing water – Empty birdbaths weekly, clean gutters, remove standing water from flower pots, toys, and tarps
- 🚫 Change water frequently – Change pet water bowls and birdbaths at least twice a week
- 🌿 Maintain your yard – Keep grass short, trim shrubs, and remove leaf litter
- 🪴 Treat ponds and water features – Use larvicide or mosquito dunks in decorative ponds
- 🔍 Check for drainage issues – Ensure downspouts drain away from foundation
- 🦟 Use mosquito repellent – When outdoors, use EPA-approved repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus
- 👕 Wear protective clothing – Long sleeves and pants during dawn and dusk
- 📅 Schedule monthly professional barrier treatments – April through October
