Mosquito Control Services

Why Are There So Many Mosquitoes in My Yard?
Mosquitoes thrive wherever they find standing water to breed. Even small amounts in flower pots, bird baths, clogged gutters, or old tires can produce hundreds of mosquitoes. If your property has shady areas, dense vegetation, or sits near wetlands, you’re even more likely to have a problem.
What Attracts Mosquitoes to Your Home
Several things make your property appealing to mosquitoes:
Standing water in containers, gutters, and low spots where water collects
Vegetation like trees, bushes, and tall grass where mosquitoes rest during the day
Carbon dioxide from you, your family, and your pets breathing
Body heat and sweat which mosquitoes can detect from a distance
Light and warmth from your home, especially at dusk and dawn
Why Mosquitoes Are More Than Just Annoying
Mosquitoes aren't just a nuisance. They're responsible for spreading serious diseases including:
- West Nile Virus - Can cause fever, headaches, and in severe cases, neurological damage
- Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) - Rare but potentially fatal
- Zika Virus - Particularly dangerous for pregnant women
Every bite is a risk. Professional mosquito control significantly reduces that risk for your family and pets.
How Mosquito Mike Eliminates Mosquitoes
We don't just spray and hope for the best. Our barrier spray program targets mosquitoes where they live, breed, and hide. The result? Up to 90% reduction in mosquito populations on your property.
Our Treatment Process
Our trained technicians apply treatment to the edges of your yard where mosquitoes enter, shaded areas and dense vegetation where they rest, around standing water sources that can't be removed, and hard-to-reach spots that DIY methods miss.
Treating about every two weeks means we’re on your property twice a month — spotting new standing water, fresh growth, and problem areas between applications. Tri-weekly and seasonal plans cover the same ground on a longer cycle. Each application keeps working between visits, so you get consistent results all season long.
Curious what happens in the off-season? Our guide to where mosquitoes go in winter explains dormancy and when to expect them back in spring.
Barrier treatments coat the leaf surface — they don’t move into the plant — so new growth after a visit is untreated. A shorter cycle keeps up with it.

Traditional or All-Natural: Your Choice
Our traditional spray uses Bifenthrin, a synthetic version of compounds found in chrysanthemum flowers. We mix it with garlic and a sticking agent that helps it last through rain and sun. This formula is labeled for use in kennels and greenhouses.
For customers who prefer to avoid synthetic solutions, we offer a 100% natural option using citronella, peppermint, and cinnamon oils, garlic, and a sticking agent. The garlic deters mosquitoes, the oils are toxic to insects, and we apply it with family- and pet-friendly practices.
Family- and Pet-Friendly Practices
After treatment, we ask that you keep kids and pets off treated areas until dry — typically 30–45 minutes. After that, your yard is ready to enjoy. Our traditional spray's primary ingredient is labeled for use in both kennels and greenhouses, so you can feel confident about safety.
