Source Reduction
Eliminating standing water and mosquito breeding sites — clogged gutters, abandoned pools, birdbaths, flowerpots, and discarded containers.
Larviciding
Applying targeted pesticides to standing water to kill mosquito larvae before they develop into biting adults.
Adulticiding
Exterior fogging treatments targeting shade trees, flower beds, shrubs, tall grass, and shaded areas where adult mosquitoes congregate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about mosquitoes and how we control them.
What are mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes are small flying insects (family Culicidae) with over 3,500 species worldwide. Female mosquitoes feed on blood to develop eggs; males feed on nectar. They are most active at dawn and dusk and are known vectors for serious disease.
Are mosquitoes dangerous?
Yes. Mosquitoes transmit malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, West Nile virus, yellow fever, and chikungunya. They can also pass heartworm to dogs. Bites cause skin irritation and can lead to secondary infections.
Why do I have a mosquito problem?
Common causes include standing water (birdbaths, gutters, containers), overgrown vegetation that provides resting habitat, warm and humid climate conditions, and outdoor lighting that attracts insects at night.
Where will I find mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes breed near ponds, lakes, bird baths, gutters, puddles, and containers holding water. They rest in tall grass, shrubs, and shaded areas during the day, becoming most active at dawn and dusk.
How Do I Get Rid of Mosquitoes?
Follow these steps — or simply call us and we’ll handle it for you.
Eliminate Standing Water
Empty birdbaths, clean gutters, and remove any containers that collect rainwater around your property.
Maintain Your Yard
Keep lawns trimmed and bushes cut back to reduce the shaded, dense vegetation mosquitoes use as daytime resting habitat.
Use Mosquito Repellent
Apply EPA-registered repellents containing DEET or picaridin when spending time outdoors, especially at dawn and dusk.
Install Mosquito Nets
Protect outdoor seating areas and sleeping spaces with mosquito netting for an additional layer of personal protection.
Use Mosquito Traps
CO2, UV light, and heat-based traps can help capture and reduce mosquito numbers in your immediate outdoor area.
