Getting Rid of Mosquitos
Professional solutions for controlling mosquitoes typically involve a combination of strategies aimed at reducing their breeding sites, limiting their access to humans, and, if necessary treating areas of concern. Here are some professional solutions commonly employed:
Barrier Treatments
Barrier treatments involve applications to vegetation, structures, or other areas where mosquitoes rest during the day. These treatments create a barrier that repels or kills mosquitoes on contact.
Larviciding
In cases where standing water cannot be eliminated, larvicides can be applied to kill mosquito larvae before they develop into adults. Professional pest control services have access to potent larvicides that are safe for use around humans and pets.
Mosquito Traps
Some professional pest control services utilize mosquito traps to capture and kill adult mosquitoes. These traps often use attractants such as carbon dioxide or specific scents to lure mosquitoes into the trap, where they are either trapped or killed.
Habitat Modification
This involves eliminating or modifying mosquito breeding sites around your property. Professionals may recommend measures such as removing standing water sources, repairing leaky faucets or pipes, and maintaining proper drainage to prevent water accumulation.

Pest Prevention Tips
Discover tips that can assist in diminishing or averting recurring pest problems in your home or business.
Personal Protection:
- Apply an EPA-approved insect repellent to exposed skin and clothing. Look for ingredients like DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Follow the instructions on the label.
- When in areas with a high mosquito presence, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, and closed-toe shoes. Light-colored clothing may be less attractive to mosquitoes.
- Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk. If possible, avoid outdoor activities during these times.
- When camping or sleeping outdoors, use mosquito nets or screens to keep mosquitoes away.
Around Your Home
- Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Regularly empty, clean, or cover containers that can collect water, such as buckets, flower pots, and clogged gutters.
- Keep swimming pools clean and chlorinated. Use pool covers when the pool is not in use.
- Ensure that window and door screens are in good repair, and seal any gaps or cracks in your home where mosquitoes could enter.
- Mosquitoes are weak fliers, so using oscillating fans on porches or in outdoor seating areas can help create a breeze that makes it difficult for them to land.
Landscaping and Yard Care:
- Keep grass and vegetation trimmed to reduce hiding places for mosquitoes.
- Plant mosquito-repelling herbs and flowers like lavender, citronella, and marigolds in your garden.
- Mosquito dunks release bacteria that kill mosquito larvae in standing water, making them a useful tool for ponds, birdbaths, and other water features.
- If infestations are severe, you might consider using a professional. Connect with an agent! 1 (845) 315-4336
When Traveling:
- If traveling to regions with mosquito-borne diseases, check for travel advisories and take appropriate precautions. Consider getting vaccines or taking prophylactic medications if recommended.
- In areas with a high risk of mosquito-borne diseases, use bed nets treated with insecticide to sleep safely.
- Some clothing items are treated with mosquito repellent. Consider wearing them in high-risk areas.
Take Note: Remember that mosquito-borne diseases like Zika, West Nile virus, and dengue can be serious, so it’s crucial to take mosquito prevention seriously, especially in regions where these diseases are prevalent. By implementing these prevention tips, you can reduce your risk of mosquito bites and contribute to controlling mosquito populations in your area. Skipping professional help for pest problems can lead to possible persistent issues. DIY methods might not fully solve the problem, costing you more in the long run and potentially harming the environment. Plus, it could take up a lot of your time and effort without guaranteed success. Need a service? Give us a call (845) 315-4336
