Effective control of mosquitoes: The Western Exterminator way

Our mosquito control services reflect our century-long commitment to protecting your outdoor spaces. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, combining scientific expertise and environmentally responsible methods to deliver effective, long-lasting mosquito solutions tailored to your property.

Our mosquito treatment begins with a thorough inspection by a trained Western Exterminator technician. They’ll identify areas in your yard where mosquitoes are likely to rest or breed, focusing on key locations such as:

  • Perimeter vegetation
  • Weeds, tall grass, and shrubs
  • Lowermost tree limbs (up to 10 feet high)
  • Ground cover like ivy, ornamental plants, or shaded grasses
  • Mulch and landscape beds near your home
  • Eaves, overhangs, and areas beneath decks and porches
  • Standing water in fountains, birdbaths, or other areas

After the inspection, your specialist will apply EPA-registered materials to mosquito-prone areas to help significantly reduce mosquito populations. They’ll also provide tailored recommendations to eliminate breeding sites.

Our Mosquito Repellent System creates a safe, effective barrier against mosquitoes by releasing small amounts of metofluthrin into the air for enhanced, on-demand protection. This system offers customizable control, expansive coverage with 20-foot protection zones, and expert installation for optimal performance. It is designed with safety in mind and is perfect for shielding patios, pools, and other outdoor spaces.

Why do I need mosquito control?

Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance; they can transmit serious diseases that affect both humans and pets. Common mosquito-borne illnesses in the U.S. include:

  • West Nile virus: A potentially severe illness causing fever, headaches, and, in rare cases, neurological damage.
  • Zika virus: Linked to congenital disabilities in unborn children and other complications.
  • Dengue fever and Chikungunya virus: Illnesses that cause joint pain, fever, and fatigue.
  • Heartworm in pets: Mosquitoes can infect dogs and cats with heartworms.

Investing in professional mosquito control offers homeowners and families:

  • Expert knowledge: Our professionals know how to identify mosquito-prone areas and use targeted treatments to maximize effectiveness.
  • Address health risks: Professional mosquito treatments help significantly reduce mosquito populations, which can also help reduce the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses.

How do I keep mosquitoes away from my yard?

To help keep mosquitoes away from your yard, eliminate any standing water on your property, as mosquitoes need only a tiny amount to reproduce. Regularly empty items like birdbaths, flowerpot saucers, and clogged gutters to remove breeding sites. Keep your lawn trimmed and clear away excess vegetation, as tall grass and dense foliage create appealing hiding spots for mosquitoes. Using outdoor fans can also help, as mosquitoes are weak flyers and struggle in breezy conditions.

What are mosquitoes attracted to?

Mosquitoes are attracted to certain colors, sweat, specific blood types, and carbon dioxide. Outside of feeding, mosquitoes are drawn to warm, humid environments and areas with standing water, where they lay their eggs. These pests seek shelter in cool, shaded locations during the day and are most active during dawn and dusk.

How to get rid of mosquitoes

Western Exterminator technicians are here to help you reclaim your backyard and enjoy the outdoors. Our expert mosquito treatments target adult mosquitoes, larvae, and eggs to effectively eliminate the problem at its source.

The first step is simple: contact your local Western Exterminator office. We’ll perform a thorough property inspection, identify problem areas, and provide tailored mosquito treatments designed to get rid of these pests and help prevent their return.

Frequently asked questions

Why are there mosquitoes in my house?

Mosquitoes can enter your home through small openings like gaps in window screens, cracks around doors, or when doors and windows are left open. Once inside, they’re often drawn to sources of moisture, such as water trays under houseplants, leaking pipes, or even damp towels. 

Mosquitoes are also attracted to dark, sheltered spots like basements, crawl spaces, or under furniture, where they can rest during the day. Sealing entry points, reducing indoor moisture, and eliminating standing water are key steps to keeping mosquitoes out of your home.

What are the signs of a mosquito infestation?

Two telltale signs of a mosquito infestation are hearing a constant buzzing sound in your yard and frequently getting bitten while outdoors. Standing water on your property is another red flag, as it provides an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. You may also notice mosquito eggs or larvae in the water.

Clogged gutters, birdbaths, flowerpot saucers, pet water dishes, and unused pools or hot tubs are common places where standing water can collect around homes. Tarps, drains, and even puddles in low-lying spots can also collect water and attract mosquitoes.

Can I do mosquito control myself?

While there are some measures homeowners can take to prevent mosquitoes, such as eliminating standing water, we highly recommend working with a professional mosquito control service. A female mosquito can lay up to 100 eggs at a time, and it’s difficult to eliminate the entire population without expert treatment.

Natural repellents like citronella and lavender can help deter mosquitoes, but their effectiveness is limited, especially in larger outdoor spaces or areas with heavy mosquito activity. Professional mosquito control offers more comprehensive and long-lasting results.
