Professional Mosquito Control Services

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!

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!

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 getting rid of 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 removed 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 getting rid of beneficial insects than providing effective mosquito control and relief.

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.

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.

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.
