Mosquito Control

Recurring larvicide and barrier treatments so you can actually enjoy your yard again, March through November.

Between the heat, humidity, and standing water, Southwest Florida mosquito season runs roughly March through November or December — and mosquitoes aren't just annoying, they're dangerous. They're vectors for diseases including West Nile virus, dengue, Zika, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. We start with an inspection to find breeding areas, standing water, and the conditions feeding your mosquito problem, then apply a larvicide, insect growth regulators, and topical products around your property's perimeter, doors and windows, shrubs, shaded areas, under leaves, and any standing water we find. Since mosquitoes need standing water to breed, we also work to eliminate as much of it as possible to limit their ability to reproduce in the first place.

Why Act Now

Mosquitoes are more than a nuisance — they're one of the deadliest animals on the planet because of the diseases they carry and transmit through bites. In Florida, mosquitoes have been linked to West Nile virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), dengue fever, and Zika virus. The risk is highest during peak mosquito season, when populations surge after rain. Protecting your family means more than swatting — it means reducing the mosquito population on your property before they have the chance to bite.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Frequent bites even when spending short time outdoors, especially near dusk or dawn
Visible swarms around standing water sources — bird baths, buckets, gutters, low spots after rain
Mosquito larvae (wrigglers) visible in still water on your property
High mosquito activity near dense vegetation, hedges, or shaded areas where they rest during the day

What You Can Do Between Visits

Dump and scrub bird baths, buckets, and plant saucers at least once a week — mosquitoes can breed in less than a tablespoon of standing water
Clear gutters and downspouts so water flows freely instead of pooling
Fill in low spots in your yard that collect rainwater after storms
Keep pool water properly circulated and chemically treated
Treat ornamental ponds and water features with BTI larvicide dunks (safe for fish and wildlife)
Use EPA-registered insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus when spending time outside
Keep window and door screens in good repair
Avoid being outside during peak mosquito hours — dusk and dawn — during heavy season

Standing water reduction to limit future breeding capacity
Recurring treatment every six weeks from March through November or December

Frequently Asked Questions

How often will you need to treat my yard?

Our mosquito control service is recurring — we return every six weeks between March and November or December to reapply treatment and keep populations down through mosquito season.

What diseases do mosquitoes carry in Florida?

In Southwest Florida, mosquitoes are associated with West Nile virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), dengue fever, and Zika virus. Not every mosquito carries disease, but reducing their populations on your property significantly reduces your family's exposure risk.

Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use products labeled for residential use around children and pets, and we'll let you know if there's any recommended wait time before going back outside after treatment.

Why are mosquitoes so bad in Southwest Florida specifically?

Florida's combination of warm temperatures year-round, high humidity, frequent rain events, and abundant standing water creates near-perfect breeding conditions. Unlike northern states where a hard frost kills populations back, our mosquitoes stay active almost year-round — which is why recurring professional service matters here more than almost anywhere else.

Can you do anything about standing water on my property?

Eliminating or treating standing water — bird baths, gutters, low spots in the yard — is one of the most effective ways to reduce mosquito populations, since mosquitoes require standing water to breed. We'll point out any sources we find and work to eliminate them during your visit.

What products do you use for mosquito control?

We use a combination of larvicide to target mosquito larvae before they mature, insect growth regulators, and topical products applied to the areas mosquitoes rest and breed in.
