When you need mosquito extermination, you want results. Now, please. And that’s just what our mosquito control services deliver. Each of our mosquito treatment services delivers fast-acting results. But different homes and families have unique needs, so we offer several mosquito treatment service options to choose from:
Mosquito Barrier Spray Services:
Our mosquito control barrier spray offers a comprehensive approach to pest control.

It provides immediate results and lasting protection, keeping your yard enjoyable, free from biting pests, and smelling great!
This environmentally friendly mosquito control service keeps your property bite-free while prioritizing the local ecosystem.
Mosquito Traps:
Another eco-friendly mosquito control solution to consider is our specialized mosquito traps. We spray nothing on your property. Instead, we install these clever traps that lure biting, breeding mosquitoes to their doom without risking harm to people, pets, pollinators, or other wildlife.
Automated Mosquito Misting Systems:
In some states, Mosquito Joe provides automated defense systems for easy, hassle-free mosquito control on demand. We install misters at key locations on your property that emit a fine mosquito control spray on an automated system or at the touch of a button. Maintaining, cleaning, and refilling the misting stations are entirely up to us, leaving you nothing to do but enjoy your outdoor spaces bite-free.
Special Event Mosquito Control:
When you’re planning an outdoor wedding or a family barbecue, you don’t want to risk even a single bite to mar the mood. Mosquito Joe’s special event mosquito control can make your backyard or (nearly) any outdoor venue a no-fly zone for mosquitoes. Just let us know when and where! We’ll make sure your only guests are on the invited list.
Comprehensive Mosquito Control & Prevention Services
Here’s an insider secret — the best mosquito control isn’t just about mosquito extermination but also prevention.
Our team searches for mosquito breeding spots on your property, looking to interrupt the biters’ life cycle. We’ll provide you with specific recommendations for removing sources of standing water and other resources on your property that support mosquito hatcheries. Did you know that female mosquitoes lay their eggs in still water, and just a bottle cap full of water can host up to 300 eggs? Removing standing water can help reduce the overall mosquito population on your property. In addition to eliminating standing water, keep the grass cut as short as possible, pull weeds, and trim your shrubs. Adult mosquitoes seek shady spots in overgrown vegetation to rest until their next attack.
Our local mosquito control services aim to control the biters, their breeding, and their habitats so you can enjoy your property in peace again. Our experienced mosquito control pros also educate homeowners and renters on proactive measures to prevent mosquito infestations.
Together with regular mosquito prevention service treatments, these strategies for extermination can help keep your family bite-free.
Tailored Backyard Mosquito Treatment Services
At Mosquito Joe, we know your home and your family are unique. So, we tailor our mosquito control treatments to best suit your property and your needs. We discuss our mosquito treatment services with you to help you choose the one that fits you best. Then, when we spray, we don’t follow a predetermined pattern. Instead, we seek out and target the places on your property where mosquitoes breed, feed, and rest. If you prefer to use a mosquito misting system or mosquito traps, we devise the best locations to optimize your protection from biters.
Tailoring our services enables us to provide the most thorough and effective mosquito extermination services possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mosquito Control
Since 2010, Mosquito Joe professionals have protected families like yours from nasty biters that would have you itching and scratching your way through summer. As an industry leader dedicated to environmentally sound pest control, we’re happy to use our many years of experience to answer your most frequently asked questions about mosquito control.
Where do mosquitoes hide around your outdoor space?
Mosquitoes need shade, shelter, and moisture to survive, so areas around the yard that offer these are where they tend to hide. Trees, bushes, long grass, and debris piles are the most common spots where mosquitoes will congregate on your property. Locating and exterminating (where possible) these refuges is a critical part of our mosquito control services.
What’s the best way to get rid of mosquitoes?
Mosquito control services for yards are one of the most effective ways to protect your spaces from mosquitoes. Our yard treatments will control biting insects for up to 21 days. You can help by taking steps to make your property less inviting to mosquitoes, and we’ll ensure they don’t stay for dinner!
Why do mosquitoes bite me so much?
If mosquitoes seem to target you, it may be more than your great personality. Several factors, including carbon dioxide, scent (such as sweat and lactic acid), what you eat and drink, and dark colors, can lure biting female mosquitoes to you. However, certain blood types attract mosquito bites. Believe it or not, mosquitoes are more attracted to people with O-type blood than other blood types.
Female mosquitoes are the ones that bite to drink blood. They need protein and nutrients from their blood meals to develop eggs. Mosquitoes bite you to nourish the next generation of biters! If you find you’re getting bitten more than those around you, it may be your tasty blood. Since changing your blood type is not an option, schedule our mosquito control services so you can enjoy your backyard, pool, and patio in peace!
Do bug-zappers work to control mosquitoes?
No. Blacklight insect electrocution devices, aka “bug zappers,” are very popular — that loud, sudden zzzztd! is so satisfying. Unfortunately, while these bug zappers are highly effective at killing flying insects in general, they catch very few mosquitoes.
An independent study conducted by Notre Dame found that only 4.0 – 6.4% of insects killed daily by the bug zappers were mosquitoes. Unlike moths and other nocturnal insects, mosquitoes are not attracted to light. The study showed that, unfortunately, such devices were far more effective at killing beneficial insects than providing effective mosquito control and relief.
Is it worth spraying your yard for mosquitoes?
Absolutely. When a mosquito control professional sprays your yard, it gets rid of the adult biters, larvae, and eggs on your property. This disrupts the mosquito life cycle while protecting you and your family from itchy bites and mosquito-borne diseases. At Mosquito Joe, we use a spray treatment that binds to foliage to provide ongoing repellant power for 21 days so adult mosquitoes don’t swarm in from the surrounding area. Before they do, we return to renew your yard’s protection.
How long does a mosquito control treatment last?
At Mosquito Joe, our mosquito control treatments take 10-30 minutes to apply and provide effective protection for 21 days. Our spray is effective on contact, but it also bonds to foliage to provide ongoing mosquito repellant lasting for three weeks. We return to reapply your protection.
