Understanding the Mosquito Threat
Effective mosquito management begins with understanding these persistent pests and their lifecycle:
Mosquito Biology & Lifecycle
Mosquito larvae developing in standing water
Mosquitoes undergo four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Understanding this lifecycle is crucial for effective control:
- Eggs: Female mosquitoes lay eggs in or near water, either in rafts of hundreds or individually, depending on the species.
- Larvae: After hatching, mosquito larvae (often called "wrigglers") live in water, coming to the surface to breathe.
- Pupae: The pupal stage (often called "tumblers") is also aquatic, with pupae floating at the water's surface.
- Adults: After emerging from the pupal case, adult mosquitoes rest on the water surface until they're able to fly.
Most mosquito species can complete their lifecycle in 7-14 days under ideal conditions, allowing populations to grow rapidly during warm weather. This quick reproduction cycle makes ongoing management essential for effective control.
Mosquito Habits & Behavior
Understanding mosquito behavior helps us target control efforts more effectively:
-
Only female mosquitoes bite They need blood meals to develop eggs, while male mosquitoes feed on plant nectar.
-
Active times vary by species Some mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk, while others may bite during the day or night.
-
Limited flight range Most mosquitoes stay within 1-3 miles of their breeding site, with many species remaining within a few hundred yards.
-
Attraction factors Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide, body heat, movement, and certain body chemicals, explaining why some people seem to get bitten more than others.
-
Resting behavior When not active, mosquitoes rest in shaded, humid areas like tall grass, shrubs, and under decks or eaves.
Health Risks
Professional mosquito treatment for disease prevention
Beyond the annoyance of itchy bites, mosquitoes can transmit several serious diseases:
- West Nile Virus: The most common mosquito-borne disease in the continental United States
- Zika Virus: Particularly concerning for pregnant women due to potential birth defects
- Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE): Rare but potentially fatal brain infection
- La Crosse Encephalitis: Primarily affects children and can cause severe neurological damage
- Dengue Fever: Increasingly found in southern states and can cause severe flu-like symptoms
- Heartworm: Transmitted to dogs and cats by mosquitoes
While not all mosquitoes carry diseases, reducing mosquito exposure is an important health protection measure for your family and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mosquito Control
How soon will I see results from mosquito treatment?
Most customers notice a significant reduction in mosquito activity within 24-48 hours after our initial treatment. The barrier treatment immediately affects adult mosquitoes resting in treated areas, while larvicide applications prevent new mosquitoes from developing. For maximum effectiveness, we recommend having your first treatment performed before mosquito season is in full swing, allowing us to target the early population and prevent it from establishing. Weather conditions can affect treatment results, with heavy rain potentially reducing residual effectiveness. If you experience unexpected mosquito activity after treatment, we'll return to assess and address the situation at no additional cost as part of our service guarantee.
Are your mosquito treatments safe for children, pets, and beneficial insects?
Yes, when properly applied by our trained professionals, our mosquito treatments are designed to be safe around families and pets. We use targeted application methods that place product where mosquitoes rest while minimizing exposure to beneficial insects like bees and butterflies. Our technicians receive specific training on precise application techniques to protect pollinators and other beneficial species. We offer several treatment options, including botanical-based alternatives for those who prefer more natural approaches. As a precaution, we recommend keeping children and pets inside during the application and until the treatment has dried completely (typically 30-60 minutes). For those with specific environmental concerns, we can customize our approach to focus more heavily on habitat modification and larvicide applications while reducing or eliminating adult mosquito barrier treatments. Our mosquito specialists can discuss these options during your consultation to find the approach that best fits your family's needs and preferences.
How often do mosquito treatments need to be applied?
For our seasonal mosquito control programs, we typically recommend treatment every 21-30 days throughout the mosquito season, which generally runs from late spring through early fall, depending on your location. Several factors influence the optimal treatment frequency, including local mosquito pressure, weather conditions, property characteristics, and the specific products used. During periods of heavy rain or unusually high mosquito activity, more frequent applications (every 2-3 weeks) may be beneficial. Our botanical treatment options generally require more frequent application (every 14-21 days) than traditional treatments due to their shorter residual activity. For mosquito misting systems, the application schedule is automated with brief treatments programmed to occur at optimal times, typically 2-3 times daily during peak mosquito hours. One-time treatments for special events provide protection for approximately 2-3 weeks. During your consultation, our mosquito specialist will recommend the ideal treatment schedule for your specific situation and can adjust the frequency based on results and changing conditions throughout the season.
Will mosquito treatment eliminate all mosquitoes from my property?
While our mosquito control programs dramatically reduce mosquito populations (typically 80-90% reduction), it's important to understand that complete elimination is not realistic due to several factors. First, mosquitoes can fly into your property from untreated neighboring areas, especially if those properties have favorable breeding conditions. Second, new mosquitoes continuously emerge during the season, requiring ongoing management. Third, some mosquito species can breed in very small amounts of water that are difficult to identify and treat. Our comprehensive approach addresses these challenges by creating a protective barrier around your property, treating breeding sites on your property, and providing maintenance treatments throughout the season. For the most effective control, we recommend treating buffer zones at the edges of your property and coordinating with neighbors when possible for broader coverage. The good news is that even though 100% elimination isn't possible, our treatments provide a significant reduction in mosquito activity that allows you to enjoy your outdoor spaces comfortably again.
What can I do between professional treatments to reduce mosquitoes?
Between professional treatments, there are several effective steps you can take to enhance mosquito control on your property. The most important action is eliminating standing water where mosquitoes breed – even small amounts of water can produce hundreds of mosquitoes. Regularly empty and clean bird baths, pet water dishes, flowerpot saucers, children's toys, and any other items that collect water. Keep gutters clean and properly flowing to prevent water accumulation. Maintain proper drainage in your yard and fix any areas where water pools after rain. For water features that can't be eliminated, like ponds or rain barrels, ask about supplemental larvicide products we can provide. Additionally, keep your lawn mowed and trim vegetation where adult mosquitoes rest during the day. When outdoors during peak mosquito times, use personal repellents according to label directions and consider wearing long sleeves and pants in light colors. For patios and decks, oscillating fans can help reduce mosquito activity in seating areas as mosquitoes are weak fliers. Following these practices between our regular treatments will help maintain optimal mosquito control throughout the season.
